The Puppet Master films are quite hard to come by, considering they were all released straight to DVD. Those that have seen them will know they are about a group of puppets brought to life by an Ancient Egyptian spell. They will also know that there are loads of these films.

Of the 15 Puppet Master films (which is hilarious when you consider the fifth one was called "The Final Chapter"), one of the best is the third one, subtitled "Toulon's Revenge".

The "Toulon" in the title is Andre Toulon, a puppeteer living in Berlin during World War II. After his wife is killed for her involvement in his Nazi-bashing puppet show, Toulon uses his magically animated marionettes to seek revenge on The Third Reich.

Whilst that might sound like the ravings of a madman, Toulon's Revenge is a lot of fun with a lot of interesting characters. Who doesn't love murderous puppets? Well, maybe the Child's Play legal team...

Puppet Master III is a great instalment in a franchise that is still going strong to this day. It's definitely worth a watch, if you somehow can get your hands on a copy
