Puppet Master II (1990 Video)
5/10
Disappointing Sequel
21 August 2019
The puppets are back! Now they have brought back their creator Andre Toulon (this time played by Steve Welles) from the grave. Meanwhile a group of paranormal researchers (including late 80s/early 90s scream queen Charlie Spradling) are at the Bodega Bay Inn investigating.

One of the problems I had with this film was none of the characters are all that interesting. That even includes Toulon who is dressed up as The Invisible Man for 90% of the movie. With what could have been an interesting premise turns into a super-talky and draggy horror sequel. Some of the acting as well is spotty. Some viewers may in fact find this to be a boring movie.

A new main puppet is introduced and his name is Torch. I do think he is pretty cool and as the movie poster shows he has a flame thrower for a hand. He really...lights up the film.

Directed by David Allen, who did the effects for the original and worked on parts 3 through 5. Richard Band returns to do the music that worked so well with the original. Screenplay by David Pabian, based on a story by Charles Band, who was also executive producer. Also starring Nina Talbot and George "Buck" Flower.
