Puppet Master vs Demonic Toys

This should have been a lot better than it was. You have two of the best franchises and Corey Feldman, but the story is lackluster and at times silly. I am probably taking it far too seriously as it's only to be intended as silly gory fun, but the original Puppet Master movie was excellent and so were the first two Demonic Toys, plus Ted Nicolaou directing, since he was the one who directed Subspecies, I thought he could have done a better job. Although he claimed to have not been accustomed to working with puppets and apparently he wasn't happy with the film. Silvia Suvadova as Sergeant Jessica Russell was fun and could actually act. Vanessa Angel as Erica Sharpe is clearly having fun as the villain, and Corey Feldman as Robert Toulon should have been great, but I found his husky voice (I think done to make him appear older,) downright annoying. It's clear that Charles Band didn't have a direct hand in this movie. It's true his company Full Moon produced a lot of crap, but this movie was from two of his best franchises and a very talented director, it's just a shame because it could have been so much better.

There was some real potential there.
