Puppet Master 5 (1994)

Filmed back to back with Puppet Master 4, this film picks up just 24 hours after the last one and the Demon itself transports itself to our world to finish the puppet master.Again, as with all the Puppet Master Movies, switch your brain off and just sit back and enjoy - Do not try and make sense of the plot as the Movies are quite disjointed and out of chronological order.Its more of the same silly fun as last time. Effects are as excellent for the time as they have always been, especially for a low budget production.That said, the film has also managed to pull in Major talent in the form of Ian Ogilvy - A very well respected actor who plays a perfect slime ball as always...

PUPPET MASTER V: THE FINAL CHAPTER🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑 3.6This movie has the same elements of four, puppets vs puppets, a similar plot and many of the same actors, except PM5 does it better. It has a well flowing plot, good camera work, a satisfying conclusion, and more horror. So yes it is much better than the third. It also adds some more characters, who provide the human enemy that horror films need, more of the maze-like hotel, which boosts the horror well, and gives decapatron a better role. There still are the cheesy moments such as Toulon being channeled through a puppet and sutek the demon god of Styrofoam's appearances, but they add comic relief, and this is a B- movie, so what ever. Recommended for fans of gremlins, PM. Series, or any other little monster movie, and for the tween horror audience.

The greedy Dr. Jennings (a nicely slimy portrayal by Ian Ogilvy) wants the puppets for himself so he can sell them as military weapons. Meanwhile, evil dark pharaoh Sutek sends his minion Totem into our dimension to kill Rick Myers (an earnest and likable performance by Gordon Currie). Director Jeff Burr relates the enjoyable premise at a snappy pace, maintains a generally serious tone throughout, stages the monster attack scenes with flair, and delivers a sizable smattering of splatter. The solid acting from the able cast rates as another real asset: the lovely Chandra West as Rick's sweet gal pal Susie, the fetching Teresa Hill as vulnerable psychic Lauren, Nicholas Guest as the sleazy Hendy, William E. Pugh as tough hood Hason, and Duane Whitaker as wormy low-life Scott. Guy Rolfe makes sporadic appearances as Andre Toulon. Popping up in nifty bits are Ron "Superfly" O'Neal as a skeptical detective, Diane McBain as an attorney, and Clu Gulager as a businessman. Sutek and Totem both make for a gnarly demons. Moreover, the puppets posses a certain quirky charm and it's nice to see them working together for a good cause (the sequence at the end with the little guys taking on Totem is especially cool and rousing). Adolfo Bartoli's slick cinematography gives the picture a pleasing polished look and makes inspired occasional use of tilted camera angles. The shivery score by Richard Band and Michael Weatherwax does the shuddery trick. A fun flick.

I like the Puppet Master movies and Puppet Master 5: The Final Chapter is one of my favourite sequels, it was shot back to back with Puppet Master 4 since the story takes place after part 4. One interesting thing is that Torch is in this one but not in Puppet Master 4 even though on the box I've got for Puppet Master 4 he's shown with the other Puppets.The plot sees Richard Myers under arrest since they think he killed Dr. Baker and Dr. Piper and the others with the Puppets since they think he programmed them to. He then meets the boss of the company who is interested about Puppets with a mind of their own and after leaving he comes up with a plan to go to the Inn and steal the Puppets with the help of a few people, meanwhile Richard's girlfriend pays bail to get him out and Blade who was taken in the evidence room escapes and goes into their bag. That night Richard sees Blade and finds out that the other Puppets are still in the Inn so they go to get them while Sutek plans to get his secret by sending his own Totem to the Inn, Richard goes into the Inn to get the Puppets and soon his girlfriend helps him, the psychic keeps on having nightmares and through telekinesis informs Richard to make more of the formula. Meanwhile the Puppets are trying to stop the thieves while the Sutek Totem is killing them off and searching for the secret. Soon Richard re-activates the Decapatron and with the help of Toulon's Spirt stop the Sutek Totem for good and then Richard Myers is the new Puppet Master.Puppet Master 5: The Final Chapter wasn't really the last in the series because four more films was made, Curse of the Puppet Master, Retro Puppet Master, Puppet Master: The Legacy and Puppet Master Vs Demonic Toys. Puppet Master 5: The Final Chapter is a great sequel. Check it out. 10/10
