An enjoyable sequel...
Well, if you enjoyed the 1989 "Puppet Master" movie from Full Moon Entertainment, then you will definitely also enjoy this 1990 sequel titled "Puppet Master II".
I sat down here in 2023 to watch the 1990 movie "Puppet Master II" from director David Allen, as part of a "Puppet Master" movie marathon. I do remember having seen the movie once before, many years ago, but I have to admit that I had forgotten about the storyline.
Writers Charles Band, David Pabian and David Schmoeller put together a rather enjoyable script for the movie, and it felt like a good sequel to the original movie, though they actually had little in common. But the movie proved to be entertaining, nonetheless.
The acting performances in "Puppet Master II" were fair enough, though I was only familiar with actress Nita Talbot.
Visually then you know what you are getting here, provided you have already seen the 1989 original "Puppet Master" movie. The stop-motion effects for the puppets, while cheesy and campy, does add a certain enjoyable charm to the movie. And I will say that the make-up effects on the zombified Andre Toulon was actually quite good.
I enjoyed "Puppet Master II" as much as I enjoyed the original 1989 "Puppet Master" movie, so I was adequately entertained by this 1990 sequel.
My rating of "Puppet Master II" lands on a five out of ten stars.

The late, great David Allen's magnum opus
The murderous puppets from part one (plus a new, fire-jetting doll named Torch) resurrect the long-dead corpse of their original puppet master, Andre Toulon. For some reason, Toulon is now an evil, spiteful b**tard who entices the little creatures to murder people and extract their brain tissue in order to create a serum which will reanimate his wife. Meanwhile, a group of government parapsychologists (is there really such a profession?) are conducting research at the eerie hotel (using a Commodore Amiga!) where both the puppet master and his creations dwell. As you would expect, they are not happy with the unwelcome visitors and decide to slaughter them all. The Full Moon company has outdone themselves yet again with this eye-opening feature, complete with awesome puppetry and mind-blowing special effects. The story seemed a little flat at times but it was told well enough to peak your interest for the duration of the film. The same eerie soundtrack from part one is reused here.
"They're back. No strings attached."
An inevitable simple rehash, which is probably a little more expansive and wicked in its visions. Not as fun as the original, but nonetheless a respectable b-grade sequel by Full Moon productions. Which I believe, would be followed up by the best entry of the series "Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge", as after that film I didn't particularly care for the rest. The second film of the franchise keeps pretty much the same structure of the original, as a group of government paranormal researchers head to the ocean facing cliff top hotel to look into Alex Whitaker's stories (the survivor of the original now in a mental hospital) and soon become targets of the puppets and the resurrected Andre Toulon (dressed in bandages) from the dead in the quest to collect enough brain fluid for his reanimation serum to keep them alive. But when Toulon encounters Carolyn, he's quickly reminded of his dead wife Elsa and the plans seem to change.
Director / visual effects wizard David Allen does a resourceful job with his low-budget, instilling a clean-cut Gothic atmosphere with an underlining eeriness and donning sensational puppet creations (a newly added one too -- Torch) and stop motion effects. This gimmick is where the film's personality arrives from, outside a dementedly compulsive performance by Steve Welles (under some bandages and heavy make-up) as the cracking Toulon. Welles is the life of the party (getting plenty of screen time --- where a little more is explained about his character), as the rest of the cast (Elizabeth Maclellan, Collin Bernsen, Gregory Webb, Jeff Celentano and a perky Charlie Spradling) are immensely one-note. Also showing up in minor, but fruitful parts are Nita Talbot, Sage Allen and George 'Buck' Flower. When it came to the puppets doing Toulon's dirty work, while ominously nasty it just lacked the imagination found in the original's death set-pieces, but the meaty, if dark narrative seemed a little more fuller in its angle of dementia, betrayal and revenge. The pacing can have its stuffy moments too (being rather slow to get going), but the location for the developing macabre fits and Richard Band's brooding score is reused with that striking playful carnival arrangement.

A great B-Movie!
Alright, so the original was a fairly smart film, but this is just a fun B-movie. SOme good gore, cool kills, and that feel of an 80's flick are all present. Plus the new puppet, Torch, is awesome, along with all the original puppets doing what they do best...kill. In this film, Andre Toulon is brought back by the puppets to create more carnage. The storyline is not strong, the acting is not excellent, but it all works and the movie turns out to be pretty darn fun. Also some cool kills, and better gore than the first. The special effects are also excellent by David Allen's great effects crew, as David Allen also takes the director's chair on this film. If you like the original, you will also love this one, that is my logic.
Puppet Master 2
While the creepy atmosphere still remains from the previous film there was an extreme drop off from the first Puppet Master. This sequel just didn't live up to what it could have possibly been. Nearly all the characters besides the main lead, Elizabeth Maclellan who was decent, all fell terribly flat and were uninteresting. The puppets didn't seem involved either in the movie as much as they should be. The new puppet Torch is a weak addition in my opinion too, he's basically unfair to deal with. The storyline was accurately tied into its predecessors and successors and Blade had a couple good scenes but that is pretty much it had going for it. Charles Band dropped the ball on his second sequel and I would advise not to watch this movie as a casual horror fan. Stick to the first and third movie those being the hands down best of the franchise.

A step down from the modest but underrated original
Part 2 is the classic Charles Band movie: cool premise wasted by cheap production and flat filmmaking. This sequel improves the villains from Part 1 (bringing us into a more Slasher setup) but everything else suffers. The setting is cheaper, the script is dumber and the actors are more comatose. The film has bright spots but they are wedged between painfully long filler scenes and bad soap opera acting. You see the beginning of the Full Moon formula for padding out movies with a handful of awesome moments with lots of nothingness. To its credit, PM2 is better shot and more entertaining than all of the sequels that followed. To many fans, PM2 is regarded as superior to the original because the standard DVD boxset release features a version that is sped up for cable. Watch the original and you will see its a drag-ass imitation of a much better film.
The Dolls are back in Town
Still enthusiast after the unexpectedly pleasant surprise that was "Puppet Master", I quickly watched the first sequel but found it slightly less imaginative than the original, yet still entertaining and recommendable enough. What I liked about part 2 is that certain plot enigmas of the first film are clarified and finally start making sense, like for example how André Toulon managed to bring his puppet creations to life, and that the stop-motion effects and make-up art are truly sublime. The latter is undoubtedly linked to the fact that special effects wizard David Allen exceptionally took place in the director's seat. Disappointing, on the other hand, is the complete lack of identifiable/likable lead characters and the weak depiction of André Toulon by Steve Welles. William Hickey's role as Toulon in the first film was brief but legendary, and I'm very curious to see what Guy Rolfe will do with the role in "Puppet Master III", but Welles (most of the running time dressed up like "The Invisible Man") doesn't add the raw and grim edge the Toulon character desperately needs. The opening sequences are terrifically grim and take place in an eerie graveyard at night, where the notorious puppets (Blade, Tunneler, etc...) exhume the remnants of their master and take it back to the Bodega Bay hotel. Fortunately, there's a new shipment of psychic investigators at the hotel, because the murder-dolls need to extract brain fluids from random victims to revive Toulon. There's also a new and bad-ass puppet in town! Its name is Torch, with a flamethrower arm, bullets for teeth and little patience for countryside problem children. The obvious thing to love about "Puppet Master II" is the gory killings, and personally I also very much liked the totally demented climax with life-size mannequin dolls.
Well,,,
I didn't think the first was that good however I thought it was decent
This sequel was start of really good, As the Puppets brought back the Master of the Dead.
I liked this movie just a bit a better then first movie, I liked the fact that show a lot more of the Puppets.
The movie didn't take to long to get started, i found most of really entertaining but however after second half, some parts did drag on a little and found those part a little boring,
The ending was just really odd and a bit Creepy,
I give this movie 6 out of 10 __________________

supersized
After the first movie, survivor Alex Whitaker had gone insane and the state had taken over the Bodega Bay Inn. The puppets dig up Toulon's grave next to the abandoned hotel and reanimates the corpse. A group of researchers breaks in to investigate the reported paranormal incident. Toulon builds a flame throwing puppet.
The basic premise is simple enough. I really wish that William Hickey could continue with the franchise. He's an unique actor and this movie misses him. A bandaged Toulon is a bit cheap. The bigger problem is that the group meets him and seems unconcerned. Basically, they meet the invisible man and nobody cares. These are paranormal investigators. There should be more questions. The best way is to keep him hiding like the Phantom of the Opera. The flashback and the story gets muddled. The more characters get added, the more unnecessary it becomes. This doesn't need to be much more than killer puppets taking out the group in an isolated place. The first half is exactly that and the movie is great up to that point. I did expect much worst. The production value has been raised. The acting is functional. It is an average B-movie horror until the last act. It turns supersized and rather camp. I can certainly see the comedic possibility of this campy turn in this long running franchise.

Blade is Back...
A strange and eerie entry in the series
A lot of people consider this to be best out of the series but, I'm gonna haft to disagree with that but it's by far not the worst and you PM fans know what I'm talking about. There's just something really strange about this film, I think it's because towards the end of the film it gets really really far out and creepy.
After mutilating there selfish and evil Puppets Master, The puppets Blade, Pinhead, Jester, Tunneler and Leech Woman are back to resurrect there sweet and kind Puppet Master Andre Toulon but he's no longer sweet and kind, he's a psychopathic, evil, and greedy zombie that wants to kill the investigators of the Bodega Bay Hotel and in Andre's insane mind, he thinks one of the investigator is his wife incarnated.
The film introduces us to a new puppet by the name of Torch, who is a robot puppet that shoots flames out of his right arm, I still think Blade is the best though.

There's a big boring patch in the middle
PUPPET MASTER II
🌕🌕🌕🌘🌑 3.1
It was cool, but there's this spot in the film where, besides a few attacks, nothing happens. The characters aren't interesting enough to help, and the story sorta gaps there. For me this dragged out and made the conclusion uninteresting. The fx were still good and the acting was alright, though. My only other problem was that the camera work sometimes makes the puppet effects look unrealistic (example: an attack scene were the puppet sorta just stands there for a long time.) this doesn't happen all the time but when it does it's sorta annoying. I dunno. Il watch it again and see if I can get over the boring patch.

Torch was great!
I enjoyed this sequel better than the original. My reasons being was i thought the puppets were more entertaining in this one and you get to see them for longer. I loved the new Torch puppet, i consider him to be the most dangerous and scary out of all the puppets(he was even more scarier than Blade). He has a stump on his right arm that throws flames. In one funny scene he is tormented by a little boy and the little brat says something like 'Is that all you can do?, do something' and you can guess what Torch does to him. The actors did fine, the acting wasnt great but this is low-budget guys. If your'e a fan of this movie i recommend you get the DVD. I got this movie for only 5.99 and you get to see the behind the scene's footage, which was interesting and fun to see. The picture quality was excellent, colors are very strong and vibrant. Overall a fun B-movie, 6/10.

More atmospheric than the original, but turns rather weird.
This film follows directly on the first film, with a group of paranormal investigators setting up in the hotel. This installment has more atmosphere than the original and the action starts a lot sooner. It started off more interesting than the original film, but then quickly turned ridiculous. Andre Toulon is an annoying character, all bandaged and looking like a cross between Darkman and Michael Jackson. The film turns utterly weird towards the end as the characters are being killed off.

Possibly an Improvement Over the First
The puppets return, this time they hunt some paranormal researchers to take their brain fluid for the living-dead puppet master, Andre Toulon (Steve Welles).
This film has some good things going for it: first, more exposition on the background of the puppets. And second, a faster pace than the original film. Love it or hate it, the first film is a tad bit slow a times and really stretches material to fill its 90 minutes.
Here we run into some continuity issues, which is pretty standard for the film. The so-called "owner" of the house... was he really in Bucharest, or was he actually at home during the course of the first film? I am uncertain. And then, where did he comes from? And why does he confuse a main character for his wife? There are more than few questions.
However, the film looks slicker, and the villain is far more interesting this time around. And, thanks to the Blu-Ray release, you can watch in high definition and listen to Charlie Band commentary.

Not as good as the first but still ok
Stop two on my Puppet Master journey! And what a weird one indeed. Odd acting, awkward direction, out of place sexual tension, all wrapped up with a few of kills. One thing that bugged me was all this science/technology talk, it was obvious they knew nothing about science and just decided to throw a bunch of words together.
Not as gory as the first and definitely slower than the first. But it's ok.

Toulon, Toulon, Wherefore Art Thou, Toulon...
So we're back with a second instalment of the Puppet Master series. I like this stories concept. It picks up where the last story ended. A new group of paranormal researchers have turned up at the Hotel in Bodega Bay after learning of the previous occurrences. Luckily, or rather unluckily, for them all is not well in the hotel. The body of Andre Toulon, buried in the cemetery behind the hotel, has been desecrated... by the murderous marionettes... but to what cause? I think you can guess!
So it's not long before the mayhem starts and more of the mystery is revealed. In this episode, we get to learn of the puppets secret of life and we are introduced to four new dolls. Even though Torch is awesome and can throw his flame ten-foot, the scariest dolls are the lifesize mannequins of Toulon and his wife.
Though Charles Band and David Pabian give us a decent story that expands upon the marionettes mythos it's the direction that hurts the film the most. The same cleverness with lighting and camera techniques isn't visible here. The fact that David Allen steers this in the standard horror direction isn't a help. The scene in the homesteader's abode is one of the better clips. With the main light source being an open coal or log fire gives the entire scene atmosphere and power. If this had been the norm throughout the movie it would have created a stronger film.
A further drawback is the pace of the film. This is a tad on the slow side. The story warrants a varied pace, similar to the first film. It would have helped to build and create both tension and atmosphere, which is lacking in a few scenes.
Another thing this flick has going for it is the cast, which includes Nita Talbot and the great cameo George "Buck" Flower. Most of the lead characters are acted well, though the actress Elizabeth Maclellan as Carolyn and Elsa does come across a bit impassive at times. Steve Wells does a good portrayal of the creepy hotel guest, Eriquee Chancee.
Though it doesn't have the same mystique as the original, this sequel is still worth a watch, especially if you enjoyed the first. Though I wouldn't keep going back to watch this one again, in a rush... or any of the sequels, for that matter. Still, it's enjoyable for one watch on a cold and dark night since this is more firmly situated in the horror zone. Come and see where the film sits on my Absolute Horror list.

Manic Kin
The second volume of Puppet Master is at least a more professional job, the actors seem less repugnant, the direction is more competent and the effects better.
That said it might seem a little of the first's weirdness has been lost and while trying to fix a problem it didn't have, adds an aimless back story.
It's hard to accept the wickedness that ensued stemmed from a puppeteer's desire not to bore the children in his audience but clearly he loved his wife as events would later testify and was trying to please her.
Still the puppets are great and the best thing about both movies, and here are given a new addition and an entertaining set piece, and the finale involving mannequins is creepy in the way waxworks always are, but most of the film is given over to charmless leads and a baddie who does all of his acting under swathes of bandages making it nearly impossible to see any performance other than wild gesticulating.
It's a mild improvement over the first but still hard to understand how the franchise spawned so many sequels.

My personal favorite of the series!
The Puppet Masters are usually looked at, as the exceptions of Full Moon Pictures. Their fun little B-horror flicks that work up good special effects and a fun time. This one is probably the most atmospheric and moody for me. And the nudity is great! The sequel to a good B-horror movie, followed by good B-movies, at least until the awful 6 and 7.
Disappointing Sequel
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.
