Giving it a C+ could of been a B- if the ending wasn't so weak

It stayed pretty good, but I do think 20 or so minutes could've easily been trimmed. It felt very padded for run time.

Graduation Day is the better of the two. Final Exam is extremely dull.

Both that and The Lodge were getting hyped up around the same time. Neither turned out to be very good.

Headed into Puppet Master comfort zone with parts II and III.

I love part II, easily my favorite of the franchise, yet it's consistently dismissed.

About to start my first movie of the day (and I imagine my only one, as I'll technically finish the second one after midnight, if I choose to watch one), being Let's Scare Jessica to Death. Don't remember much about it, so looking forward to seeing it again.

I rewatched the first Puppet Master last Challenge - I was planning on re-watching the second one sometime this month. I don't remember it well, but from what I recall, it was pretty fun.

In addition to it just feeling like the best made one, the story is pretty coherent, the characters actually feel kinda developed, the pace is excellent, the stop motion FX are top notch.

But for continuity AFTER part two (or three) it seems to get dismissed from canon, so fans don't bother acknowledging it. Shame really.

Plus it has topless Charlie Spradling. Always a great thing.

Puppet Master III is pretty high up in the Full Moon catalog, IMO too.

Checking out So Vam.

Just laughed out loud at the trigger warning. Not the content of the trigger warning, but the fact that there actually was one for a movie lol.
