Review of Charles Band's Puppet Master: Axis of Evil (2010) by Allan C — 27 Aug 2016

Andre Toulan's sentient and deadly puppets help a young man fight a German/Japanese conspiracy that's unfolding in WWII San Francisco Chinatown. I really liked the look of this film with the period Chinatown setting.

Like most Puppet Master films, there isn't a huge budget, but the neon lit Chinatown looks really cool, even if that may not have been all that historically accurate. Directed by series regular David DeCoteau, I think DeCoteau get's a lot of the credit for this film's slick look.

The film is also greatly helped by featuring the little puppets a great dead, rather than spending too much time on the people, because really, we just want to see the little deadly puppets in action.

Probably the best entry in the series since number three.
