Open up and say arrrrggghh!

Puppet Master: Doktor Death, in which the titular puppet goes on a murder spree in an old folks' home, looks incredibly cheap at times.For example, the sign for the Shady Oaks Senior Living retirement home, where most of the film takes place, is poorly photoshopped (the perspective is all wrong) and it is unconvincingly superimposed. The leaves on the sign aren't even oak leaves. And every time that horrible sign appeared, my eyes were drawn to the digitally rendered grass at its base, which doesn't match the real grass. The sign for Abbott's Funeral Services is also poorly executed: the camera tracking is off (I like to dabble in After Effects and I notice these things).There's no disguising that this is a slapdash movie, churned out on a micro-budget with little attention to detail, so thank heavens for the blood and boobs, which always make a bad film more bearable. The death scenes are reasonably gory, and Emily Sue Bengtson, as care worker Jennifer, bares her baps, which was just enough to keep my attention for the very short runtime. As cheap and tacky as the whole thing is, it's far from the worst the series has to offer.

Watchable...

I must admit that I was actually harboring some expectations to the 2022 addition to the "Puppet Master" franchise. Why? Well, I figured that it was a pretty new movie, so perhaps they upped their game somewhat. I hadn't actually heard about "Puppet Master: Doktor Death" prior to watching it as part of a "Puppet Master" movie marathon.

Director Dave Parker managed to deliver a watchable movie, for sure. But "Puppet Master: Doktor Death" was hardly the pinnacle of the franchise. The storyline in this 2022 movie was adequate. There wasn't really anything outstanding to be experienced, but it made for a watchable enough movie.

And the movie just ended very abruptly. Sure, it is so the cards are dealt for a follow-up movie, of course. But a more satisfying ending would have been preferable.

I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list in "Puppet Master: Doktor Death". The acting performances in the movie were actually fair enough, especially in comparison as to what was performed in the "Axis" trilogy of the "Puppet Master" franchise.

Visually then "Puppet Master: Doktor Death" was quite okay. Nothing outstanding for a horror movie, sure. But the special effects served the movie well enough.

My rating of "Puppet Master: Doktor Death" lands on a four out of ten stars. There simply wasn't enough murderous dolls in the movie.
