The Puppet Master Axis trilogy continues with Puppet Master Axis Rising (on Amazon Prime for $5.99). This is the 10th Puppet Master picture and tells the tale of the Germans having created their own puppets to help take over the world and a young couple reaching deeper into their bag of tricks to unlock another puppet that may even the odds. The Germans believe they can destroy the puppets as we know them with their new kamikaze puppet. I really enjoyed this picture and the new puppets, especially the werewolf. The storyline is fun and a nice continuation from Axis of Evil. I strongly recommend this for fans of the Puppet Master series and I would give it a 5.5/10.

Puppet Master 10 is the 4th film in chronological order, and the second film of the Axis Trilogy. The story continues directly where 'Puppet Master 9: Axis of Evil' left off. It is a pity, though, that they did not use the same actors to play Danny and Beth, the film's heroes. This installment is more comedic than horror; only its not funny. There's no suspense and hardly any action. There are a few new puppets, built by the Nazis and enemies of the franchise's puppets, but must admit they're rather silly. The 'bitch' fight between Leech Woman and Bombshell was completely and utterly laughable, from the 'acting' perspective, as well as how stocky they appear. The film is also laded with horrible dialogue and acting, probably the stupidest yet.The puppets really look haggard and utterly lifeless. It's hard to believe they were so well done and believable back in the 1989 original. More often than not it looked like a school stage play, and a very bad one at that.

Although it wouldn't really matter where you look with this particular doll (or rather puppet). So this is a direct sequel to the ninth entry to the franchise. And the second part of a trilogy. We get the surviving members of the previous movie and they get new enemies and so forth. Who'd have thunk it? I know everybody - you can't kill this franchise.

You could have done with less movies to tell the whole story of course, but whaever. So good puppetry again, not so good acting as with almost all of them, and a lot of puppet violence and death and all that. One more until the much praised "Littlest Reich" is on the horizon ...
