Puppet Master II
A new team of paranormal researchers has come to the hotel to investigate its murder-soaked past; the puppets -- led by a new member, Torch -- shed some light on the matter, as they tunnel, burn, strangle and hook to survive.
Why it matters
A cult sequel that deepens the Puppet Master mythos with inventive kills and a new puppet joining the fray.
- David Allen’s background in puppet effects elevates the practical gore and animatronics to chilling new heights.
- Torch, the new fiery puppet, adds a fresh dynamic that fans of the original’s miniature menace will appreciate.
- The paranormal investigator framing injects a ’90s haunted-hotel vibe that blends ghost story and slasher elements.
- Not as tight narratively as the first, but its commitment to creepy atmosphere and inventive puppet carnage rewards series loyalists.
