 Thank you for checking out this movie review video So this is gonna be for puppet master the littlest rike Which is a 2018 film that I believe at the moment is only available as far as like streaming services and things like that Only on shutter I believe it's exclusive to them although it can be purchased on DVD and blu-ray. I'm thinking I'm pretty sure Based off a number I have here But let me say real quick before I get into the actual review a few things one Please hit that subscribe Please please please believe it or not that motivates me greatly with making films and his peep are with making films with making these YouTube videos as people have been able to see I've been putting out a lot more content And I will put even more out and continue to go strong with it if I keep getting that kind of encouragement So subscribers really helps with that, but also what helps is comments So put some comments below you can talk about this film with me You can talk about other films of its same ilk things like that just like to get nerdy like to interact with people and Believe it or not, that's what motivates me to do these these these videos So that would be awesome. The other thing is I'm not gonna have any spoilers for this review And that's for two reasons two reasons. I wouldn't like this. So it looks like one two reasons The first reason being it's a relatively newer film. It's from 2018 So I don't want to throw spoilers out there in case people still want to see it They want a bit of a review, but they don't want the spoilers if they want to see it The other reason being for a puppet master film I feel like you don't need spoilers to review it because people who are familiar with puppet master either you either you've seen Some before or you know about them You you kind of know what you're gonna get and that's it is the case with this film So it doesn't really need spoilers. So I'm not doing spoilers. All right now into the actual review I couldn't find budgetary information on this film Just so you know with a lot of the older films that I end up reviewing here I can find that information mainly because they've been to the box office So the budgetary information versus the box office income gets thrown out there with this one No budgetary information that I could find online. Maybe it's somewhere, but I couldn't find it But it's low budget you can tell by watching it. It's very low budget But that said I think they got some decent actors to kind of carry it through To mix in there with the not-so-good actors and actresses who you're just like, yeah, that's low budget acting for you But you know, it is what it is sales blu-ray and DVD at 643,614 dollars So know that that's not bad in my opinion for this day and age I feel like that's not bad for the 13th puppet master movie I feel like that's not bad income honestly and obviously that'll keep going Not massively, but you know this one was written by S. Craig Zoller or Zaylor He wrote and directed the film Bone Tomahawk, which I will say I've not seen Bone Tomahawk But anytime it's ever come up in like a conversation or what I've seen something about it online or in a podcast or whatever It's been favorable people have always said good things about it So I do want to check that out. That is one. I believe it's in my Netflix DVD queue at the moment Yes, I still do Netflix DVD and the reason for that being they have a lot of older stuff That's not on blu-ray now. So it's better than the blu-ray service for that reason better selection But yeah, I believe Bone Tomahawk's in my DVD queue. So This film was directed by Sunny Laguna and Tommy Wickland and They are some two Swedish guys who apparently direct everything together and I was looking and they have a bunch of credits They I think they have ten credits as a team ten credits all together on IMDB.com but I've not heard of any of the other stuff they've done So it looks like they're mainly just doing like low-budget horror stuff, which hey, you know if that's a career for you And it works all for it. We need low-budget horror. That's that's great kind of horror genre thrives on that really So this was the very first film of Fangoria presents I don't know if people know but Fangoria magazine had gone out of business some time ago and very recently it was purchased by I Think the company's called like Cinna State or something like that and they they purchased Fangoria so they're doing all these up things like they're trying to get involved in film and Obviously, there's they revamp the magazine, but they're also doing like podcasts Mick Garris his post-mortem podcast, which I've been listening to for a while now and it is very good I do recommend it. He just moved over to being under Fangoria. So they're going for podcasts They're going for films now puppet master of the littlest right is the very first Fangoria presents film. So Thus far I'm down with it. If they keep trying to bankroll stuff like this It's I'm down good. I'm not a Fangoria magazine fan Although I've heard that it's kind of changed from what it used to be So maybe it's worth a look, but anyway, like I said, this is the 13th puppet master film I will tell you right now. I have not seen all of them. I've seen I think the first four or five So obviously I have some catching up to do so I was just like first four or five and then skipped to number 13 Oh, well, you know, I feel like there's not a whole lot that I have to know in those other films That's just kind of how it is Okay, so as far as certain actors showing up in this film, very happy to see Udo Kier in this film Does a great job real fun to see him in it Barbara Crampton always great to see Barbara Crampton I really like her because I heard a really awesome interview with her actually on Micaeris's post-mortem podcast and she's talking about how she really wasn't into horror film for the longest time even though she was an actress in it and then she kind of understood that by going to some of these horror conventions that There's a huge fan base that can you know really support her and really does support her And that kind of got her into it and being like, you know Maybe I should kind of immerse myself a little bit more in the horror genre Not just continuing to act within it But also, you know watching these films and knowing more so she started watching a lot of horror films And she's really boned up on her horror genre knowledge, which is really awesome She's very active on social media, and I think people should check her out I follow her on Twitter and she's always thrown out really cool stuff And she's still working and she's working a lot and a lot of that has to do with the horror Community and how people really love what she's done in the past and I think people are really loving her Newfound well newfound over the past bunch of years Enthusiasm for the genre so that's awesome, and then Tom Lennon Tom Lennon. Yes Mainly known for comedic acting everyone knows him for Reno 911 pretty much, but he's done some other stuff He's a very good actor in my opinion, and he does a really good job in this film And he does the comedic stuff properly But he actually doesn't do a lot of comedic stuff in this just because of how his character is written But um I was kind of surprised to see him in and I kind of felt like isn't he still working? Isn't he still getting stuff? And if he's not why not because this guy is a good actor So anyway, it was good to see him in there. He did a really good job I dug the concept of this film of how they got to having the puppets around a lot of times with these films You know, it's all the ideas have been taken especially when this is the 13th in a series of them So it's kind of hard to keep it fresh It's kind of hard to come up with a concept of how you would get these these puppets working again and killing and people be like Okay, usually people just be like, oh, yeah this again or that doesn't make any sense But no the premise of how everything comes together. I actually was down with I was like sure makes sense I'm good with it. So it wasn't like crazy outlandish and dumb. So I like that about it People get naked a lot in this film at least within the first like half hour, I'd say Yeah, so, you know, it's kind of like an old-school horror Throwback to you know, like 1989 when the very first one was done. Actually, I don't remember remember if there was all that much Nudity in that or any of the other ones But it's kind of going back to the whole like 80s horror Craze where they're throwing a lot of nudity into the film So if you have a problem with that, sorry, there's a lot of nudity in this and a lot of sex as well So, you know, but just letting you know The gore and practical effects were quite good in this actually and there was a lot of it with a low budget There's a tendency a lot of times to cut back on that stuff So I was really happy to see that they kind of spent money wisely and that's what people want to see I mean between the fact that people want to see the puppets and they want to see the puppets killing They want to see good gore and good practical effects and it delivered I really feel like this film delivered strongly in that department There is one death in particular in this film that I I really liked I thought it was super creative and I thought it was really funny a lot of them are good But there's one in particular I'm talking about and if anyone out there watching this has seen this Comment down below and let me know which death you think it was that I'm referring to I have a feeling that if you have seen this you can guess which one that is because it's funny too. So anyway, yeah So totally on board with the gore practical effects. Good job I feel like they did a really good job of having a balance between the comedy and the horror violence in the film and a lot of times it's really hard to kind of put those things together Properly there have been plenty of films that I've watched where you know, they're trying to make it like a comedy horror But you're just like me and these things aren't meshing really well I think they did a pretty good job There wasn't too much comedy and there was a good amount of horror violence that you know Obviously people are watching the film for for that. So it was a nice mix in my opinion There's plenty of the puppets in this like I said a little bit earlier. There are lots lots of puppets There's lots of puppet screen time and there are a lot of different puppets Including new ones, which I love like I'm all about watching films like this and trying to see Oh, what type of designs that they come up with for the creatures and that's One of the main fun things for me with movies like this So I was really really happy to see so many different puppets and to see so much puppet screen time It's great and they look good like the designs on them were quite good Especially for you know, this is a low-budget film Once again putting their money in the right places executing it properly Okay Thankfully at the end of this I'm gonna say this this is not really a spoiler, but there's a possibility for them to do more and That's probably not a shock to anyone. I'm for it. Honestly if they're gonna do another film That's in the same vein as this Executed very much the same. I'm down. I'd watch it. I'm not gonna like rush out and be like I need to buy this I need to own this but I'm gonna watch it, you know, if it goes back to shutter again Megan another Fangoria presents. Let's do this. I'm down with it bring back the same director same writer. I'm in and then the last thing I kind of want to say is that You know, like I said, I believe this is exclusively on shutter as far as like streaming goes It's not on TV or anything or in theaters and I really think that this kind of plays to How shutter can bring people in more people in and keep people with their service. I've been super impressed I know I've said it on other videos before but I've been super impressed with how shutter has developed over the past year now and It's it's been awesome. I mean it's cheap it's like five bucks a month four bucks a month if you buy a whole year in advance and It's so worth it. They're getting so many good films now. They're getting a lot of good material that's coming straight to them You know, this puppet master is a great example of something that's really fun there And I think that a lot of people that are coming into it are looking for that kind of horror nostalgia like 80s 90s 70s even reaching back to the 70s. They're looking for that type of nostalgia So getting more films and more series like puppet master on there Would be great and I'm not I'm not just talking like the movies that are already done I'm talking like what they've done with puppet master the littlest rike is Reaching out there and getting this new thing and saying this is gonna be ours Exclusively and that will help bring these people in who are there for the nostalgia They're there they're there because they love it like oh man, you know 80s horror was the best time It was the best time and you're gonna pull those types of people in I mean they have coming up this week on the 21st The a new series that they're premiering strictly through shutter and it's for critters another 80s throwback So awesome and then on the 29th Friday the 29th They're going to have the launch of the Joe Bob Briggs last drive-in series, which at first It said ongoing series and so weekly series So I kind of thought it was just going on kind of in perpetuity until they decided It's not it does not having a return anymore, but that's not the case It's actually only gonna go for nine weeks It's only gonna be nine episodes, but it starts on the 29th and it's going to be Nine episodes and it'll be a double feature of films each time And I think that's that speaks also to the type of people that are being brought in because they got a lot of traction with Joe Bob Briggs and he's very much a throwback to doing a lot of those kind of 80s He even reaches back to like the 70s Has he done 90s he's done a little bit of 90s as well, but that kind of like chunk So anyway enough about that. I rant about how much I love shutter because can you tell can tell how much I love shutter? I do anyway That said I'm grading this realistically when I'm doing these movie reviews I'm giving star ratings out of five and I can do halves I am grading this film realistically all of what I've been saying is positive But when I stack this up against other films, I need my star rating to make sense So for this reason I give this two stars as a overall film that said it's super low budget There's not a whole lot to it. It's nothing like super new or anything, but it's fun And if you're a puppet master fan, you're gonna love it. Well, maybe not love it, but you're gonna at least like it You're gonna have a fun time. It's gonna be good. So also if you're just 80s horror fan in general It's gonna be a good time. So I'd like to give recommendations at the end of this shout out to uncle Pete subscriber uncle Pete who Wanted me to start doing this.
