Curse of the Puppet Master

1998 · 78 min

A cheap, sluggish late-franchise chiller that drifts between doll-museum menace and wooden small-town melodrama, rarely mustering a real scare.

Tagline
...The human experiment.
Overview
Andre Toulon's diminutive assassins take up residence at The House of Marvels, a traveling doll circus run by Dr. Magrew, who has been trying to create a living doll of his own with little success.
