Puppet Master

About This Movie

Puppet Master (2018) is an intriguing blend of fantasy and drama, weaving a tale that feels almost surreal. You have this lonely woman who, in her quest for affection, allows herself to become a puppet—literally. The film's atmosphere is suffused with a sense of melancholy and longing, enhanced by its unique mix of live actors and puppetry, which lends an eerie yet poetic feel. The pacing is deliberate, letting you sit with the uncomfortable themes of objectification and dependence. The performances draw you in; there's a rawness that feels honest. It's those practical effects, though, the way they bring life to the puppets, that leave a lasting impression. It’s a peculiar, thought-provoking watch that stands out for its originality.
