Movie #33: Puppet Master X


Welcome to Sci-Fi 100! 
100 Sci-Fi movies in 100 days!
"Puppet Master X: Axis Rising" is the latest entry into the Puppet Master franchise from Full Moon Features. Directed by Charles Band, this sci-fi/horror film is set during WWII and picks up where Puppet Master 9 left off. The story is about Nazis hiding out in the U.S. using a kidnapped Austrian scientist to conduct experiments on re-animating the dead in hopes of creating a super Nazi Soldier that can't be killed. Well, he might not be able to do that, but the scientist stumbles upon the secret of Andre' Tulon and replicates the serum used to animate the puppets. He creates evil Nazi puppets for his captors.

All of the original puppets, except Torch,  are back in this installment. We are also introduced to 4 new puppets created by the captured scientist... Bombshell, Weremacht, Kamakazi and Blitzkrieg. 


My favorites of the Tulon' puppets have always been Six-shooter and Blade. Like most Full Moon Features movies, the budget is low, the acting isn't that great, the effects are cheesy and the story looks like it was written last night. But that's all good things, right? 

I love it when they set these Puppet Master films in the '40s and they battle the Nazis. This is a good installment and I hope they keep cranking them out.
Check it out!
