Andre Toulon from the first 'Puppetmster' film is resurrected by his puppets and returns to the Bodega Bay hotel to continue his work, it being complicated by some psychic investigators moving in to the hotel too. Not as good as the previous movie, let down by a mainly dreary cast. As Toulon is played wrapped up in bandages you only have his voice to convey character and he just speaks with a pantomime German accent. Standing out in the cast is Nita Talbot as Camille but unfortunately she disappears early on in the film. Her sparkiness was sorely missed in the rest of the movie. The puppets though were in good form enhanced this time with the flame throwing puppet Torch. A slighter sequel.
