Corey Feldman gets out acted by inanimate objects. Fantastic!
In 1989 the world was introduced to a company soley commited to the b horror community best known as Full Moon productions. The creator of this low budget empire is Charles Band who created Full Moon as a second attempt after he failed miserably with another production company. His first release was Puppet Master which came out on VHS and laserdisc (yeah laser disc, awesome) and turned out to be a huge success. This would get the ball rolling turning out a huge cult following causing Puppet Master to turn into a series of films. As the years rolled on Charles Band was asked to make some slasher flicks to try to compete with the "Scream" era and did so under a new production company known as Shadow Films which only lasted two years after the films failed. Charles then decided to rebirth Full Moon and which brings us to tonight's feature Puppet Master vs Demonic Toys. This film is a beautiful combo of the puppets from Puppet Master and the toys from Demonic Toys in an all out feats of strength. Is it possible for anything to be more B then this? Now looking at the four star rating may make you wonder why would we give a rating so high. See the thing with Full Moon productions is if you are willing to watch one then you know what to expect. You look for terrible acting, horrible special effects, and a little comedy mixed in. If they produced an actual great film we'd probably give it 1 star due to extreme confusion.

We start off 2 days before Christmas (Oh Boy! Sid's favorite) with Toy maker Robert Toulon (Corey Feldman) as he and his daughter work on the puppet master puppets. Toulon is the family that gave birth to these puppets and now their lives belong to Robert who cares for them. The only issue is they aren't alive anymore which forces Robert to go nuts trying to find a serum that will revive them. Batch after batch won't work until he accidentally cuts himself and blood drips into the mix. Once he does that it starts bubbling up and changing colors. He injects the mix into the puppets and within a few minutes they are back to life. The puppets are actually good and live to protect Feldman's family. Who would've thought the uber B Feldman was a genius scientist in charge of ressurecting puppet b? Now that the puppets are alive you see Robert's house has a hidden camera which a rival Toy company has planted to see if he would ever bring the puppets back. The evil owner of the rival company is Erica Sharpe (Vanessa Angel) who is bent on controlling the puppets. Now to add the even more b element is Vanessa Angel who you may remember from Wierd Science. No, not the movie but the early 90's tv series. There a well earned star right there. In order for her to control the puppets she must call upon her own pint sized creatures the Demonic Toys. These consist of a jack in the box clown, and teddy bear, and a baby doll with a truck drivers mouth. The baby is hilarious! He talks very much like a gruff well known midget actor who will remain nameless (another star earned) as he yells out things like "shut up b***h." In order to get the toys to do their evil deeds they make a pact with the devil who wants Robert's daughter sacrificed by sun up or else Vanessa will be banished to the underworld.

Now that the pact has been made Vanessa sends out a crew to kidnap the daughter and the puppets to bring to her headquarters. Once they abduct them Robert is notified that he must be escorted to the sacrifice if he wishes to see his daughter again. Once there he tells the puppets to awake and they bust out of their crate ready to kill. We now have an extremely b puppet/toy fight where they pulled out all the special effects Full Moon had to offer, which must have amounted to $7.50 tops. In the end we have the puppets as the victorious ones saving the world from the wrath of 3 killer toys.

As far as Full Moon goes this one's got it. It's there typical campy horror movie but so much fun to watch. It just screams a slot on tv around 2 in the morning. If you are thinking of checking this one out then you must know what to expect. The acting is bad especially from Corey Feldman who is pretending to be like a 50 year old guy, but changes nothing except putting a little grey color in his hair and talking with a scratchier voice. The special effects are nearly non exsitent and the one that are look hilarious. There are no scares but it's so entertaining watching these puppets run around it doesn;t matter. We fully recommend this one for a good time.

Unimpressive, yet funny
Back when Fullmoon owned the rights to both movie franchises, it was originally planned that they would make a Puppet Wars mini-series back in the 1990's. Sadly the series idea was scrapped due to insufficient funds. Now that the Sci-fi Channel holds the right, they aired the "long awaited cinematic showdown" known as 'Puppet Master Vs. Demonic Toys'. Full Moon had nothing to do with the project. This is the third film in the Demonic Toys series and the 9th film in the Puppet Master series. The story takes place near Christmas eve, in which the Robert Toulon (great nephew of Andre Toulon) uses the reanimating fluid to revive the puppets we all know and love. What Toulon didn't know whas that he was being closely watched by a huge toy company. The head mistress of this highly popular toy company Erica Sharpe makes a deal with a demon from hell. The demon is hell bent on revenge and demands Toulon's blood. So Erica gets help from some well known Demonic Toys and plots to bring the entire toy line to life to spread innocent blood on christmas morning. So it's up to Robert and his gang of puppets to try and stop the evil madness.

Well first I would just like to say that im a big fan of both the Puppet Master and Demonic Toys movies, even though there were very few Demonic Toys movies. The last Demonic Toys movie just so happened to be 'Dollman Vs. Demonic Toys', which was just a big letdown. This movie is actually a letdown as well. This film was originally planned back in the 90's when Fullmoon brought up the idea of a mini-series. Well after a long wait the movie finally got made. Was it worth the wait? My answer would be yes and no. There were some things that I liked about this movie, but the bad really outweighs the good. I was mostly disappointed with this film and it was hard for me to take it seriously. From the characters, to the acting and even down to the look of the smaller evil characters. The idea of both movie franchises coming together really caught my attention and even had me pumped up to see it. I honestly didn't know what to expect and I'm really glad that I wasn't expecting it to be great or anything fantastic. What I found most entertaining was the acting from Corey Feldman. I couldn't help but laugh most of the time he talked, which was actually most of the movie. I found myself laughing at the little things that just weren't meant to be funny.

When I first found out that this would premiere on the Sci-Fi channel I knew right away that the movie would end up being low budget and corny. To no surprise I was correct. The acting in the film was off and at times the movements from the puppets looked cheap and fast. I happen to love cheesy flicks but seeing this film is just as fun as watching time fly by. Seeing the puppets and demonic toys on screen again was a neat pleasure though, but seeing them fight was a whole different story. For one the way the puppets and toys looked were kind of disappointing. I may sound picky for saying this but each of the puppets and toys used in this film were newly built and looked different. Its hard to describe the looks but its really noticeable, especially with the demonic toys. They just seemed to look less scary and evil (especially the toy bear, he looked more cute than threatening). The other thing that bothered me is the fact that they used only a few of the well known dolls in the movie. We get to see the puppets Blade, Pinhead, Chester and 6 Shooter. As for the evil toys we get to see Oopsidasy (baby doll), the teddy bear and that crazy Jack in the box. It was nice seeing them in a film together but I thought all the so called fight scenes were horrible and embarrassing. It makes sense knowing that this is a low budget feature, so it's not like you're going to see grade A fight sequences with the best special effects anyway.

I think it was a smart move to have this film premiere on the Sc-Fi channel. They really didn't have to cut out much because there is hardly any gore shown. There is some blood and gore, just not that much. Like a lot of low budget films this one definitely has its corny moments. Some of them were positives to me, I had a good laugh watching this movie and I did find some things entertaining. Sadly I found there to be more negatives than positives. The story could have been a lot better, but the way everything was put together was pretty decent. The demonic toy Oopsidasy is a hilarious character as always, using his ass more than once and saying those funny lines. That character was one of the highlights for me. The fight sequences between the puppets and toys were short and lame. You'd figure that they could've done a much better job with that aspect of the picture, especially since that's what the movie is based upon. Part of reason why I wanted to see this film was to watch all the characters collide in a battle to the death. In the end I was disappointed with the outcome. Hell at least they gave the puppets a cyber upgrade, not to mention the DVD is pretty cheap so you can pick it up for a low price. But even then you really got to think hard about doing that.

Overall I thought this was a pretty bad movie. But if you don't take it too seriously then perhaps you will enjoy it more than I did. I honestly just couldn't take it seriously. The story could've been better, the acting is bad and I thought it was unimpressive. Sure it's low budget and im usually into those kind of films, but this one is pretty bad. If you enjoy watching really corny movies then I definitely recommend checking this out. I'm sure you'll have a laugh all the way through. If you're a fan of either the Puppet Master or Demonic Toys movies then you will very disappointed with this film. If you ever do plan on watching it then just rent it and don't expect anything great or fancy. Just grab a group of friends, make some popcorn and laugh your asses off.

Christmas in July laughs thanks to Corey Feldman and his terrible acting
As an avid fan of Full Moon productions, and their horrible films, I just had to watch Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys. The first thing I found out was that this film has nothing to do with Full Moon except for it's puppet characters. Charles Band often receives credit as the Executive Producer but had nothing to do with the film. Full Moon originally planned to do the film as part of a mini-series in the 90's, but they had to drop the idea when they didn't have the funds to get the job done. They must have really hit a low point since it couldn't possibly take much money to make any feature they do. Thankfully the Sci-Fi channel stepped in to grab the idea and do the movie under their studio and now we have a mess of a Christmas movie with killer puppets.

Taking place in California, the nephew of deceased Toy maker Andre Toulon Robert Toulon (Feldman) is now the owner of the Toulon Doll Hospital. As he continues to find a formula to bring the puppets to life he accidentally comes to find his blood is the missing ingredient to doing just that. Once he gets the serum finished he injects the Puppet Master puppets and back to life they are. The only problem is rivaled company Share Toys, run by the evil Erica Sharpe (Vanessa Angel), have been spying on Robert in hoped of finding this serum for their own Demonic Toys. They want to create these toys in time for the Holidays so Christmas morning each household will be slayed by the evil gifts. Talk about spreading holiday cheer huh? Once Robert finds out their sick plot he gets his puppets together and they have the ultimate b battle royal.

I have to say this one will be a new favorite in the holiday collection. Not for it's good acting or well written script but for the hours of laughter it provided. Corey Feldman was simply awful. He is supposed to be an older scientist type but just looks like himself with some cheap gray hair coloring. He also talks raspy somehow thinking that will add the years. It really was just perfect for my expectations. For any fan of the Puppet Master or Demonic Toys series this one is a must.
