[...] The Puppet Master franchise, at least up through part 5, are some of the best “killer toy” films ever made, even giving Child’s Play a run for its money. Definitely worth a look whenever they show up on TV, which isn’t as often as it used to be, unfortunately. [...]

[...] There are so many things which make Phantasm such a memorable movie. Usually the first thing people recall are the Tallman (played by cult favorite, Angus Scrimm) and the Sentinel (the flying chrome ball with the drill-bit). The Tallman is one of the more underrated horror icons, at least in the mainstream, never attaining the popular status of Freddy, Jason or even Chucky. The Tallman is never-the-less, a very creepy, very unnerving villain who truly makes the movie. However, while its part in the first film is rather small, the Sentinel is considered by most to be the coolest part of the movie; watching it zoom around corners, drill into people’s noggins and drain them of all their blood leaves a lasting memory on those who see it.

[...] Following the events of the first film, everyone thinks Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent) is completely mental. His Mother, who supported his claim that his Good Guy doll was possessed by Charles “Chucky” Lee Ray (Brad Dourif), the Lakeshor Strangler, and tried to possess is his body, is tossed in a nuthouse and poor little Andy is sent to live with a foster family. Meanwhile, the corporation which produces the Good Guy dolls, fearing a conspiracy attempting to smear their product with bad publicity, manage to get ahold of the charred remains of Chucky. They rebuild the doll in an attempt to assertain the malfunction that caused the Barclay family to think it was trying to kill them and unintentionally bring Chucky back to life. Chucky picksup where he left off and is once again determined to regain his humanity by possessing Andy’s body. [...]

[...] The final story, “Amelia”, based on Richard Matheson’s short story “Prey”, is where things *really* pick up. Amelia (Karen Black) buys a wooden Zuni fetish doll at a curiosities store for her boyfriend. The doll supposedly has the soul of an ancient Zuni warrior trapped inside of it and the only thing preventing the soul from taking over the doll is a golden chain tied around its waist. Well, wouldn’t you know it? Amelia accidentally knocks the chain off and the doll comes to life. The doll then chases her around the apartment with a paring knife and tries to kill her. The story starts off rather modestly, with Amelia having a long, drawn-out argument over the phone with her mother, drawing a bath and doing other things to build tension. When the doll comes to life it takes its time revealing itself. First knives start to vanish, the lights go out and you hear tiny footsteps pattering all over the apartment. When the doll finally shows up its done extremely well, really surprising the audience. The Zuni doll-itself is very creepy-looking which makes up for some of the unsatisfying puppetry. There’s a lot of shaky camera work to keep you from getting a clear look at the doll, at least whenever it’s in motion. This was done to try and prevent the audience from noticing how unconvincing its movements were. Still, the little fella has a *lot* of personality, screaming psychotic gibberish and running around the apartment at lightspeed. Puts guys like Chucky to shame. [...]
