Puppet Master 4 (1993 Video)
7/10
Dumb fun
22 February 2024
This is such a paper thin movie you can practically see through it. In short: a Power Rangers monster hassles a robotics company on the verge of a break through in sentient artificial intelligence, thanks to the work of 1993 Logan Paul.

Beyond that, there's barely any story, and despite being a horror movie, barely any blood, either. Despite somehow still getting an R rating, you can tell they were absolutely holding back in acknowledgement their target audience was probably in the range of 14-16 years old. As someone who doesn't always love tons of gore, that's not a complaint.

But you know what? Despite being an awful movie, it's got a silly, weird, campy vibe where it just kind of goes with the flow. Something you'd describe as "Stupid, but in a good way." For a movie of this type, it's very heavy on the practical effects, with fun puppet work, animatronics, and some stop motion animation.

And, as always, the puppet creatures themselves are just cool to look at. These guys were practically made for merchandising. It's just entertaining to see a little toy guy run around sometimes. I'm not ashamed to admit it.
