It's 1892 and Sutekh is hopping mad. It seems a 3,000 year old Egyptian sorcerer has stolen one of the God's secrets of life - that of instilling the souls of the dying into inanimate things. Sutekh raises three mummified former high priests, led by the villainous "First Servant", and charges them with recovering both the Sorceror and his secret. There is no lack of victims for the 3 high-faluting, stylish villains as they pursue their prey to 19th century Paris, and the very young puppeteer, Andre Toulon. Toulon runs a puppet theatre in the heart of Paris, and meets the sorcerer (the mysterious Afzel) when he is found by the lovely Swiss Ambassador's daughter Ilsa, after being nearly killed. It is there and then that we find the seed of things to come, and the origin of the Puppetmaster series of tales.

| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.The last very good entry in the "Puppet Master" movie series, and I hope we get this dark fantasy element back someday. |
| User ReviewRex Mits been a long time since i seen this movie. Loved it. use to rent it all the time |
| User ReviewAlex rI have always liked Puppet Master movies, just sometime they have that Ed Wood touch to them |
| User ReviewSam Lpuppet master movies take that walk on the other side |
| User ReviewMatt JThe Puppet Master 7 is very creepy Movie. I have seen all parts, and every part made turn on the lights immediately when creepy bit begins. |
| User ReviewJustin Yits been a long time since i seen this movie. Loved it. use to rent it all the time |
| User ReviewWayne FA return to form over the previous 2 installments. Guy Rolfe is back which is a bonus, and I enjoyed the background story to the rest of the series - tho it ended annoyingly with "what happened to cyclops and the others? Well thats another story" - well hurry up and make it already!!!! |
| User ReviewGinose PExcellent, excellent prequal. Possibly the most interesting back story of the series, it actually fills in almost all of the plot-holes from the rest of the series. |
| User ReviewShawn WWell here we go again as this franchise jumps around its own timeline, this film is a prequel to the third film (if you can remember that far back) and showcases a young 'Toulon' in Paris and how he acquires the secret of life. Believe it or not but this film actually starts off as a sequel to the third film! yes that's right, this film carries on from where the third film left off...kind of. There are more continuity issues here (again) as according to the original film 'Toulon' actually blows his brains out in 1939, yet this is set in 1944? I mentioned this in the review for the third film as this error seems to have been ignored, so what the hell eh, lets carry on past this fudge up and pretend it never happened. This film again does seem to have slightly better production values than previous films. Supposedly set in Paris (obviously not) and they have done well to create an early 1902 feel merely with shadows and a lot of subtle hints, good use of props, mist and lighting I must say. The Cairo set attempts are less effective with the crude use of some archive footage hehe. Again I must also give kudos to the costumes, I'm unsure how accurate they might be but to the average Joe they do the job and sell the effect. Of course the plot is ludicrous with ancient mummies resurrected and marching about the place trying to be cool as if they just walked off 'The Matrix' set. Nice idea but the director has foolishly made them into something out of character for this type of flick. We do discover that the demon 'Sutkh' from 'Puppet Master IV/V' is or was an Egyptian God it seems so that's interesting I guess. Some fun acting from old 'Star Trek' actor Jack Donner and again Guy Rolfe briefly. As usual its the nice work on the puppets that help the film along. The 'retro' designs are just as cool as the regular puppet designs but stop motion is a bit shaky in this one. No blood or gore what so ever, not much real tension or excitement but its an easy going adventure...can't really call this a horror franchise anymore. |
| User ReviewWes SIt's an interesting take but has a bit of a hard time fitting with the rest of the series. There are several plot holes, and the story is slow. The puppets don't do a whole lot in it. The special effects aren't very good either, but it is a nice fresh take on the franchise. |
