slight spoiler this installment of the full moon franchise change the storyline a bit and implement some new element . first off a new puppet master be establish . secondly and the puppet turn good in this sequel . finally and it introduce some scifi or fantasy element a well . a new tenant of the infamous hotel by the bay and his girlfriend and her psychic friend and and that psychic boyfriend and stumble upon andre toulon puppet trunk . they also learn about some demon from another dimension that hold toulon responsible for steal the secret to animate the unliving . so sutekh ( the demon ) send the totem and a bunch of craven little creature that look like ear less gremlin . then it up to the puppet troupe to take care of the inter dimensional threat that try to kill there new friend . like most low budget movie this film be rife with continuity problem . how do the puppet get put back in the trunk . how come nobody remember the last rasche of killngs in the hotel . who buy the hotel . why would a contractor by a building with a history of mass murder . all this and many more question and will not be answer . ever . the real suprise of this movie be the act . it actually pretty good . the actor take it with a enthusiasm unusual especially for a bunch of full moon nonames . teresa hill be especially impressive a the shy and nervous and psychic lauren . chandra west ( susie ) be also a pleasant suprise also . gordon hill be a tolerable protagonist . but cameron be far too annoy to stomach . thank the norse god he die before halfway through . the puppet be there usual animate self . with some improvement a well . there emotion ( especially jester ) be much more human due to the sound that have be give to them . blade hiss and pinhead grunt and and six shooter snicker have all be improve and sound much well . the stop motion animation be only average at best and especially the totem . they just do not seem to move as fluidly a the previous installment in the series . also the sutekh costume be absolutely awefull . how be we suppose to afraid of a creature so humorous look . the story seem a bit juvinile for the series . i think charlie band be look to focus in on a young demographic . the violence be tone down in this movie also seem to speak the same . gore fan will be disappoint . i think the above be the main problem this movie can not really stick with many people . it doesn not have the violence for gorewhores . the language be a little cleaner . yet it too violent and harsh for the wee one . which be why the movie get low rating . i have to say that the common review be mostly fair .
