The first of seven horror films, all seen almost exclusively on the small screen, about the puppets given life by their creator, Toulon. A group of highly unlikely psychic researchers (including Paul Le Mat American Graffiti, Melvin and Howard) are terrorised in a hotel by the murderous marionettes. Director David Schmoeller, veteran of much low-grade horror, does little with the formulaic script, which is slow to get going, but finally delivers the gory goods. The puppets are cleverly animated by special effects expert David Allen, who directed the next (and one of the best) in the series.

A twist on the Frankenstein story, with some clever special effects adding a little interest to the usual slasher narrative.

Pretty bad, but watchable (just!)
This is hailed as one of those 'cult classic' horror films. Now It does fall into that category in the respect that most films labelled this was are actually pretty awful (eg. Driller Killer, Zombie Flesh Eaters etc..), This is not even a good idea really, but it is just about watchable despite truly shocking performances from a low budget cast including a leading man who looks suspiciously like Benny from Crossroads. How it got sequels I'll never know-but its the kind of film some people will love so suck it and see!
