Now watching....Trucks!

Yes, the attempted re-adaption of the Stephen King short story that failed to out-do Maximum Overdrive lol

I haven't seen this since the late 90s, hahaha.

I don't think I've seen them all either. Hard to say which ones I haven't seen.

Out of the ones I've seen, 2, 3, and Axis Of Evil are by far my faves of the bunch.

I've only seen this up to Axis of Evil (I own a 12-movie DVD pack with the first three Killjoys and first nine Puppet Masters), but it's honestly not as bad a series as it might sound. Some are bad, such as Retro Puppet Master and that abortion clip-movie that was Puppet Master: The Legacy, but in general, it's a fun time.

It's on Prime lol

It's definitely a contender for worst made-for-tv King adaption. Not sure if it is the bottom, but it's down there.

The postman vs the remote control toy dumptruck scene is pretty funny.
