Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich

"Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich" (2018, Sonny Laguna, Tommy Wiklund, RLJE Films) is a reboot film to the franchise and is  canon to the original film.


Edgar (Thomas Lennon) returns to his parents house after the death of his brother and discovers a puppet in with his brother's things. But not any old puppet, it's a Blade puppet. A quick internet search tells Edgar that the Toulon puppet is valuable and that there is a Toulon murder convention nearby. Edgar, his new girlfriend, Ashley (Jenny Pellicer) and his best pal, Markowitz (Nelson Franklin), travel to the convention to learn more. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to them, the spirit of Andre Toulon (Udo Kier) and his murderous little creations are about to start a bloodbath.


A completely bonkers B-movie  that serves up some quality practical gore amongst ridiculous action, tongue-in-cheek scripting and a liberal serving of boobs, blood and bad taste humour. With a change to the previous films' plotline, Toulon is this time revealed to have Nazi ties and his puppets' evil ways lead to some creative death scenes. The movie throws everything it can at the audience, no matter how batshit crazy it may be. We are also introduced to a few more puppet characters, and the film opens up a few new doors for yet further sequels in the franchise.


Humorous, insane and close to the knuckle in most scenes this film manages to bring Toulon's puppets into the modern day in the true Puppet Master so-bad-it's-good spirit.
