"Puppet Master 5" is technically superior to its predecessor, moving from 'hilariously terrible' to...just 'terrible'...Damn it! I can't even laugh at the badness anymore. Instead I just have to be bored.

"Puppet Master 4" seems cheaper than previous entries of the franchise, which is strange because it boasts such a high profile concept (killer puppets vs demons). But it's also just a bad movie that finds any semblance of redemption by providing lots of unintentional hilarity. Plus, at least it's very short.

"Puppet Master 3: Toulon's Revenge" showcases Blade, Leech Woman, Jester and the other demonic puppets inflicting brutal punishment on deplorable Nazi's and the filmmakers are clearly having a blast with the concept. Demonic Puppets Vs Nazi's!!! Puppets terrorizing Nazi's!!! All I have to do is repeat the same thing over and over again, which is enough to sum up my feelings towards this film.

"Puppet Master 2" is not exceptional horror and carries its own bag of flaws, but at least it was 'sometimes' entertaining and delivered more of what I expected from the previous one.

The "Puppet Master" films were selected for my March Franchise Marathon, which is nice because I was never able to complete these movies...Yet after watching the original, I find myself afraid...and not for the right reasons. The first is supposed to be the best, right?

"Three Outlaw Samurai", which probably should be called "Three Outlaw Ronin", is an entertaining Chambara opus thanks to an abundance of style and swordplay. But it's not likely to last very long within your memory because it borrows from every trendy samurai flick of its time...

"The Lazarus Effect" is pretty bad, but the end credits seemed to start rolling almost immediately after the opening credits had ended. My first thought afterwards was: "Wow, that was quick".

I can see many viewers calling "Maniac" boring and I wouldn't blame them. But I thought the filmmakers did a masterful job at creating a never-ending feeling of unease thanks to the atmosphere and amazing performance by Joe Spinell- who is adorable and terrifying at once.

As amazing as the battles within "The Buddhist Fist" were, the real fight was between the awesome martial arts choreography and the annoying sense of humor.

"Hausu" is a fascinating experience because it's one psychedelic visual following another, some shots being alluring while others are haunting. It's corny, campy and kind of creepy, but you have to accept its avant-garde approach in order to appreciate it.
