#18: Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys (2004).

Wow! just wow! 'PMvDT' was way shitty! It seemed only fair to throw another 'killer toys' movie into the mix for Christmas, but gawwwdddd!!! PMvDT contains unspeakable horrors of cheese to say the least. The plot was just bad. Its about a decendant of the Puppet Master bloodline (Corey Feldman) who uses a serum to resurrect the infamous dolls of the Puppet Master including Blade, Pinhead (no Hellraiser relation), Six Shooter and Jester. At the same time, a corporation known as Sharpe Toys is trying to get their hands on the serum to create evil killer 'demonic toys' that will tear out of gift wrapped presents and kill on Christmas Day! The 'Demonic Toys' that are resurrected from hell are Baby Oopsy-Daisy, Jack-in-the-box and Grizzly Teddy.

Overall: Although it is titled as a 'vs.' movie there isn't a whole lot of fighting going on between the puppets and the toys. This alone was very disappointing. That is the main thing viewers want to see in a movie with such an absurd title. There is a pretty epic fight at the end between the puppets and the toys, but you have to suffer through the whole shitty movie to get there. Another dissapointment comes with the lack of gore and blood which is very abundant in all of the previous and early 'Puppet Master' movies. Even the original 'Demonic Toys' contains way more gore than this made for Sci-Fi cheese cake (it is seriously made by sci-fi channel) Finally one of the biggest complaints was the lack of appearances from some of the other cooler puppets. Where was the torch puppet? or the one with the drills? Why was there only three demonic toys? They could have written a whole slew of new evil toys to fight the team of puppets. The way that the puppets were highlighted as the 'good guys' was a bit lame. Corey Feldman's bumbling, goofy performance was semi-enjoyable, but it basically amounts to pot head humor. The characters were very cheesy and thin. Grizzly Teddy was a big pussy the whole time! He gets the stuffing chopped out of him by the Blade puppet! The greatest parts of the whole movie involve Baby Oopsy-Daisy and his diaper shitting, fart jokes. There is a hilarious scene of him breaking out of a cage and chasing Corey Feldman down the hallway. I was laughing so freaking hard from the cheese I almost couldn't stop. It almost killed me. His foul mouth is just awesome too. After being uppercut by the pinhead puppet at the end, Baby Oopsy-Daisy pops up out of a sewer drain pipe and says "Merry Christmas my ass! And a crappy New Year" Awful....just awful, awful stinky Christmas cheese.
