The puppets are back to
take care of some unfinished business by
resurrecting their master Andre Toulon
(Steve Welles) from the grave and a new
puppet joins them named Torch and gather
the brain matter that keeps all of them
alive and keep collecting brains.
Toulon however has a deadly plan of his
own in which he returns to his castle by
the ocean where he meets a new group of
Paranormal Researchers residing there and
Andre discovers a woman named Carolyn
Bramwell (Elizabeth Mclellan) who looks
just like his dead wife Elsa in which all
hell breaks loose and wants to keep her
for himself and to be resurrected into a
puppet with her so they can live together
eternally.
A good
camera shot with some of the puppet's
digging up Toulon's grave and a camera
looking up with a corpses hand sticking
out.
We also have perfect camera shots and
effects on the puppets attacking Camille and dragging her to the ground and
killing her.
There's many good shots on a puppet with
a drilled head drilling in Patrick Bramwell's head along with some of the other people
trying to get the puppet off of
him and destroying it.
A good shot on a supporting character Martha by looking shocked as
well as a good shot on Matthew dead with the puppets killing
him as well as terrific shots on her
trying to kill them with a shotgun as
there's nice action on this moment.
We have a good presence by Andre Toulon approaching towards both Carolyn Bramwell and Michael Kenney having a discussion with them.
We also have a good flashback scene that
involved both Andre and Carolyn at a puppet performance theatre festival
with NAZI's
burning stuff.
We spot a good shot on Carolyn and Michael with their dialogue
along with a distance shot on Andre.
Another good dialogue between Mclellan and Bernsen near an ocean which
looked nice and emotional.
There's also a moment with a child near a campsite
playing with his soldier toy by using a
whip and then discovering one of the
puppets and playing with that one which
looked quite corny but the direction
leaves you an impression that the child
is looking for trouble.
We have a good lustful shot on Carolyn and Michael in bed together.
A good shot on Wanda screaming after
discovering that her boyfriend was killed
as well as her trying to crawl back with
a camera zooming in on her and one of the
puppet's approaching to kill.
There's a good battle scene between Michael and one of the puppets.
A nice scene with Carolyn tied
to a chair in an attic with Andre
talking to her and then a nice appearance
on a resurrected Puppet Toulon which
looked well done and alot of great
suspenseful shots on the puppets
attacking him.
Bottom line is that this sequel was
not as good as the first one but it
offered some good killings as well as
good effects on the puppets. The story seems to go nowhere however but
Toulon trying to find resurrection as
well as pointless camera shots on certain
other things like a couple of farmers
being terrorised by the puppet's and a
child trying to play with one of them
thinking it's a toy. But there is a good
flashback scene about the Nazi's burning
down a puppet theatre and a bizarre
ending too to top it off.
The acting is
fairly descent as always since we have a
nice performance by lead actress Elizabeth
Maclellan (Carolyn Bramwell) showing her emoitons well
plus terrific energy with her actions and
words too.
Collin Bernsen (Michael Kenney) looks like one of
those pretty boy types who can't act but
he seems to do okay but is not overlly
terrific but passable enough to oull his
part off.
Steve Welles (Andre Toulon) brings the chram with
his role as Toulon and has a nice slick
voice to his part even if he is mostly
folded in bandages like a mummy.
Nita Talbott (Camille) didn't have a huge role
in the film but yet she was very well
noticeable in her part living at the
castle. A perfect spooked reaction on her warning to others not to go
in some rooms telling them there's little
demons of some sort.
Charlie Spradling shows
off her breasts while getting out of bed.
There's a butt shot on Collin
Bernsen while trying to defend
himself from a puppet at a bedside.
A person has his
head bloodily drilled by a puppet
Another puppet takes out a piece of brain
from a guy's head
A person is burnt to the crisp and their
eyes stabbed with black blood gushing out
A guys throat is bloodily slit
Toulon's face is scarred
A puppet Toulon is breaking to pieces
with green blood flowing out
Richard Band is
back at it again. We have some good sexy
synthesizer playing for a romantic scene
which is different than the other stuff
used in the film which was borrowed alot
in the first one. But still it works
terrifically. |
