This movie start off just Day after Puppet Master 4, which I thought was decent idea, to give a hint of first in it.This movie did have bit more of plot then the one before, everyone from last movie turn, even Sutekh who creates a new creature.This was entertaining to watch and it's never it's boring at all as them movie flows really well..The acting was decent in this movie, better then the one before.I give this movie 5 out of 10I going to skip sixth, really messed thing up with no Torch and bring back Leech Woman, when she killed in part 2!By missing 6, Part 7 is sequel to Part 3 ?

This picks up days after part 4 with Rick Myers being charged with the murders of his colleagues. He gets bailed out by the company he was working for and, while the authorities don't believe his stories of killer mini-demons, Dr. Jennings (Ian Ogilvy) is intrigued. He gets together a shady group of folks to head to the Inn to retrieve these puppets. Of course, Myers has shown up there too. And our old pal Sutek is still around and sends his ultimate creation (the same old mini-demon puppet but with a cape) back to kill. If you needed a sign that the wheels were coming off at Charles Band's Full Moon, look no further than this fifth entry in his top series. Showing pre-Weinstein intuition (without the dollars), Band chopped the script of one film into two and we get this sad excuse for a film, complete with credit padding and a 5 minute on screen recap of the previous entry. Poor director Jeff Burr, a true talent who has been relegated to lower level horror sequels. This just features folks walking around the hotel getting killed. The saddest/funniest/strangest thing is the point of this entry is to once again resurrect Decapitron and have Toulon tell Rick he is the puppet master. Didn't we already do that? Ron O'Neal and Clu Gulagher both have small cameos. Subtitled "The Final Chapter" on the VHS box, this was the last PUPPET MASTER film released by Paramount. The next entry, CURSE OF THE PUPPET MASTER, would appear in 1998.

Puppet Master 5 (1994) * 1/2 (out of 4) Number five picks up right after the events in the previous film. This one starts off with Rick (Gordon Currie) behind bars accused of killing those poor souls from part four. He gets released and he and his girlfriend (Chandra West) get caught up with the puppets who are once again doing battle against the evil Demon God and his smaller creatures. PUPPET MASTER 5 is certainly a step up from the previous film but that's really not saying too much. Director Jeff Burr filmed the two installment back to back and this one here certainly has a better path as to where it's going even if the story with the Demon God was incredibly silly. The middle of this film has some thugs breaking into Toulon's hotel where they're searching for the puppets who of course have to use their weapons to destroy them. As with the previous film, this one here has the puppets playing good guys so the film offers up some bad guys that they can kill and still consider themselves as good. At least this section of the film enters the horror trappings of idiots being locked up inside a creepy hotel where they're picked off one by one. With that said, the story itself really isn't anything special as once again the human characters aren't interesting and I think the puppets too get the short shifted. The puppets at least get a few more kills under their belts but the film has pretty much milked them of any personality with the exception of Blade who gets a few good scenes. Both Currie and West are pretty bland as the leads but horror fans will enjoy seeing Clu Gulager from THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD. Once again the special effects have clearly lost some of their budget from the first three films. The effects aren't nearly as effective and they're also used a lot less than the previous entries. Don't even get me started on the Demon God outfits that looks to be something made for a high school play.

This Film was a Perfect Horror Movie and a Mighty Fine Addition to the Puppet Master Series. It's not Different From Puppet Master 4 except a few Things. One of Them Being that Torch is Back! This Film, However, is Also a little Different from Part 4 because Now the Puppets are back to Slaughtering Humans. Why? Because as Well as Demons from another Dimension after the Secret, so are a Team of Scientists who The New Puppet Master was Working With. Stupid Traitors! But. Do you really Think a Team of 5 people can Outsmart a Gang of Killer Puppets? The Puppets are just nothing but a Pure Pleasure. Part 3 was a Masterpiece and Part 5 is not too far Behind. Why Did People give parts 4 and 5 Such a Hard time? I think it is the Simple fact that The Puppets are Good Guys. But So What? I am Fine with That as Long as They just look Scary and Chase Things Around The Old Hotel. Another Reason The Critics Dumped The Whole Series is That it was Labeled as a Rip off of The Child's Play Series. Even If It was, Who Really Gives a Jumping Fish? They are Cool and Scary, that is all that Should matter! People. Wake Up! If you Haven't seen a Puppet Master Movie I highly suggest you Do. The Movie Itself Consisted of Many good Qualities. One of Them Continuing The Plot from Part 4. But That's Not All! The Hotel was Dark and Spooky and Really just Gave Me The Creeps. As Well as A Bunch of Psychic Stuff that I Would never want to Spoil for You. The Puppets also Looked Like they were Walking. In Parts 2 and 3, The Puppets Sometimes looked as if They Were Hovering or Floating. At Least on Digital Video, This Film had Outstanding Sound and Picture Quality.Be Sure to Remember that it is Not the Scares or Thrills That Make The Movie, It's the puppets! The Puppets' Names are as Follows: Blade, Jester, Pin Head, Torch, Decapitron, and My Favorite, Six Shooter. Blade has Very Interesting Hands. One is a Knife, The Other is a Hook. Jester leads the Puppet Gang and When he Gets Violent He Throws or Picks up Things such as Hammers to Use as a Weapon. Torch has one Arm that is Really a Flame Thrower. Decapitron has a Head Which shoots out Electricity, He is The Most Powerful of Them All. And Finally, Six Shooter always has You In His Sights with his Six Pistol Packing Arms. All in All, There's no Escaping The Killer Puppets! The Demons are Also a Good Flick, But It's Hard to see the Puppets Become the Prey. I Liked The Directing Done by Mr. Jeff Burr, Who has Given us Such Pleasures Like: Stepfather II and Puppet Master 4. Good Acting Done by All Cast Members. The Score is Also Perfect. It's Better Than Any Other Sound track In History. It even Bets out Halloween and Friday the 13th. Was It Gory? To a Certain Extent. There was some Blood and A lot of Knife Wounds, But Nothing New. Perfect Movie. I Give it 10 out of 10. 20 out of 20. 100 out of 100. and so on. Not The Best of The Series, But I'd Say it is Probably The Fourth Best. Recommended to Any Horror Fan, Highly Recommended to Any Puppet Master Fan. If You Like Scary Movies, You Need to See This. Also Recommended: The Dead Hate The Living.
