Apparently someone out there had the good sense to re-release the box set of the brilliant Full Moon series “Puppetmaster”. Fans of the series will recall the previous ill luck that befell the original release back in 2000 when they had to recall the sets due to licensing issues with the now defunct Pioneer. (According to rumor, Full Moon had not gotten approval from Pioneer to sell the series on DVD.)

The box set is comprised of the first seven films in the series, from the first wonderful Puppetmaster to the inferior sequels that came after it. I have to admit- I really didn’t like the later movies nearly as much as I did the first three. They have their “charm”, I suppose, but overall they’re just a little too cheesy for my tastes. There is also an additional disc in the boxset, a collection of trailers for the films. I have to admit that as far as extras go, I was a little underwhelmed. It’s been about 20 years since the first film was released- wasn’t there anything else they could put in there?
Now for what the series is about. Since Amazon has no description of the actual series, I’m going to give a brief outline of the series. Killer puppets that frequently end up in the hands of the wrong people. Ok, so maybe it’s a bit more complex than that, but the beauty of the series lies in how the series’ creators were able to take a simple idea & turn it into one of what is arguably one of the most infamous series in horror. Forget Jason & Freddy. If you haven’t seen this series or at least the first movie, you can’t call yourself a true horror movie buff.
It’s important, but perhaps not critical, to put the Puppet Master franchise into its proper context as the “father” to the ‘direct to video’ business model adopted by nearly every major studio in the wake of PM’s success. Simply put, there was never anything like the crafted, shot-on-film, stop-motion esthetic being offered in the early, tentative days of the home video market. Back then, Blockbuster Video was more a burgeoning business plan and less a full fledged jugerernaught (oh how the times have changed).

While not the first film series to be placed as a direct-to-video offering, it was clearly one of the first to be built as a serious film, locked into traditional B-movie conventions, but not in a “cheap” looking way… rather an embrace of the best in B-movie conventions (the slightly edgy, unhinged quality that only independent filmmakers seem to possess… or at least film makers still rooted in their earlier, B-movie days imbue their films with; think Sam Rami, Peter Jackson, etc ).
Charles Band, the creator and overlord of most all of the PM iterations (save for the terrible and not included in this box set ‘Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys’ as seen on the Sci-Fi Channel) has kept the franchise alive through the years, even through the countless permutations of his Full Moon pictures. A successful toy line, complete with action figures, models, studio scale replicas, as well as comic books, fine art prints and soundtracks have filled in the gaps of years where no film lay on the horizon.
This box set represents the period of time where Puppet Master reigned supreme on the video shelves of every mom and pop video shelf across American and many places world-wide. While the first four films offer the best the series had to offer in terms of stop motion effects and finely evocative music, the latter films too expand the PM cannon with some great turns at directing and storytelling.
Upon writing this review ‘Puppet Master: Axis of Evil’ is being shot in China and looks to be a return to form for the series early days. As a member of the Full Moon family (I create most of the key art for the films) I can attest to a great script, stunning locations, and an inspired choice for directing (David DeCoteau).
