Remember when I said 6/7 may be the weakest entries to the franchise/series of the Puppet Master? I was talking about actual movies, that bring you something new. This is just a rehash of old highlights thrown in together. This could be a DVD/Blu Ray Extra, though bloated a bit, of best kills and all that. It has about 90 % of old clips narrated by someone who is being held at gun point because ... well that would be a spoiler.Not that it does matter in the end of course. Because this is just a cash in. On the other hand, maybe this is sufficient and you don't need to watch all the previous entries to get you up to speed before the next three installments formed a trilogy that could've been shortened and was too long for it's own good and also kind of feels like a cash in? Then again, I'll be awaiting entry number 12 now, which is supposed to be really good fun

Puppet Master: The Legacy (2004)I don't think I ever seen a series, well they only added 5 news scebes, in to one movie and run old flashback most of the movie. Well I have only seen half of this movie, I could it not find it on DVD, Youtube had it but half the part was taken downThe only think i can say about this movie, If I saw this first , there would be no need to see the ones before.This movie added nothing new to the series at all, it just show you want to already knew. Well I didn't get part hour mark of the movie, I going to give this 1 out of 10

Puppet Master: The Legacy (2003) 1/2 (out of 4) Ultra-cheap eighth entry in the series starts off with a woman taking Eric Weiss (the boy from PUPPET MASTER III) hostage and demanding him to tell her the secrets of the puppets. From this point on we start a whole string of flash backs to earlier films in the series with constant "looks" at the present time as the woman becomes more and more demanding. It turns out that SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT 2 isn't the cheapest horror film ever made. No, that honor goes to this installment, which runs 74-minutes and being generous I'd say that at least sixty-minutes are nothing more than clips from the previous seven movies. Die-hard fans might enjoy seeing a cut down version of the previous movies with a few new scenes added in but to me this is about as cheap as you can get and I really see no reason to applaud the cheapness of a film like this. The only reason I could see this film being important is for those people who aren't really interested in the series but want to see what "story" all of the movies told. Instead of seeing the previous seven movies you could just watch this thing and get the general idea of what the series was about. Unlike watching the previous seven movies in order, this one here would at least allow you to see the "story" in chronological order. Since the series jumped around so much none of them were in order so the clips here are as followed: RETRO, PM3, PM, PM2, PM4, PM5 and then CURSE. The new footage isn't all that well shot but the two actors aren't that bad. THE LEGACY is an ultra-cheap film that's only purpose was to milk an already dead series. With that said, two more films would follow so I'm guessing this at least made the company some money.

As a fan, I felt it was necessary to view this. Even though I knew it was mainly clips. The problem is instead of answering some questions such as why Toulon was out of character in part 2 and what Curse of the Puppet Master was about. They seemed to always dodge those things. The main problem is the ending, it makes little sense. Hopefully now that Full Moon is back on it's feet the Puppet Master series will return to the glory days of the excellent parts 1-5. Unlike most though, I thought retro puppet master was cute, yet nothing great. My rating-5 out of 10
