curse be a standalone movie and which be part of the problem . you get this wacked out scientist who get hold of toulon puppet and and who obligingly let him know theyre alive and willing to help him . why theyre willing to ( initially ) kill for him isn not clear . george peck off key performance be another problem represent he act like a thirty year old in bad age makeup . maybe he be 60 70 like he be suppose to be and but he look and act really odd . and why do he have a 25 year old daughter . there be very few people to like here and which also hurt . the romantic lead be vaguely sympathetic and but the scientist and the obnoxious town sheriff and the local town bully and etc . and be all very unlikeable and make them slaughter fodder . the bad problem though and be the end . the movie just . stop . run credit . whaaatt . who know . catch the sequel and # 7 and when it come out and i guess . the uninteresting human character mean that the puppet have to hold center stage . theyre pretty much relegate to the odd gory slaughter or two and though . even they seem somewhat confused a to what their motif be here . jester and leech woman be relegate to the background a always and blaze be miss ( despite and a noted and his appearance in the opening credit ) and and the only new puppet we get be the new tv or tank puppet and which appear for about 30 second at the end of the movie . definitely the weak entry in the puppet master series . even at the bad of time and the others in the series have have something to contribute . but curse . just hang there with nothing to support it or recommend it .
