Love this one. I really prefer it with the removed scenes. I hate when that happens - usually to appeal to either the MPAA or the studio, either way, it changes the entire movie. Most people never see the full thing or know this. I tried watching the second one.... Didn't enjoy it. It was not the same at all. It didn't have love. Not the same director - and it's basically a crappy romance flick that was toned down so much it's basically barely a horror movie anymore. This one is awesome. But that's just my opinion

_Puppet Master_ is the first of the Puppet Master series of movies.
It's not the best, so if this is the first Puppet Master movie you see I'd continue on with the series as the sequels are actually much better than the original.

In this movie, we are introduced to the Puppet Master himself, Tou More

**A horrible film saved by five puppets and good stop-motion animation.**

I saw this film recently, following the advice of a friend, and I didn't have very high expectations: she herself had told me that it was a bad film, and I decided to confirm how bad it was. It brings us a story about livin More
