Puppet Master X:Axis Rising Movie Review






Puppet Master X:Axis Rising(2012) is the tenth movie in the Puppet Master series. It is directed by Charles Band and stars Kip Canyon, Jean Louise O' Sullivan and Scott Anthony King.

The movie carries on directly from the end of the last one. Ozu has escaped and she is walking away with Tunneler. She meets Kommandant Moebius(King) who is a Nazi. Blade is hiding in the shadows, watching what is going on. Ozu makes a deal with Moebius to give him the puppet if he lets her go. He agrees, but kills her anyway. The rest of the puppets are with Danny(Canyon) and Beth(O'Sullivan). Danny has to tell them that Ninja is no more. Blade turns up and he lets them know that Ozu is dead. The group want Tunneler back but he is with the Nazis. They come up with a plan to get him back from them. They get taken away by mysterious men. The Nazis have a doctor Freuhoffer working on a reanimation machine. A Nazi woman called Uschi is watching his work. Moebius wants the machine ready soon.


Danny and Beth end up at an army base. They meet Major Collins(Kurt Sinclair) who tells them that they did a good job saving the factory in the previous movie. He wants to know what happened. Moebius tests out his machine but it isn't working properly yet. Moebius wants to create a race of soldiers. Freuhoffer is threatened by Moebius. He tells him that he better make it work or he will be in trouble. He hands his Tunneler to have a look at. Collins tells Danny and Beth that General Porter is coming to town. He tells them that he will give them a bodyguard to protect them. The bodyguard is called Sergeant Stone(Brad Potts). They show Stone the puppets and explain to him what they are. Freuhoffer opens up Tunneler and looks inside. Uschi comes in and she wants to get with the doctor but Moebius kills her. Freuhoffer will use the machine to bring her back. He realises that his serum isn't strong enough. It won't work on large objects, just small ones.He creates his own puppet which looks like Uschi and is called Bombshell.


Stone and the others go to get Tunneler back. They meet Bombshell. She can shoot guns from her chest. She shoots Pinhead. They have to leave. Freuhoffer has created more puppets- Wehrmacht, Blitzkrieg and Kamikaze. The general comes to town and he meets Danny and Beth. Danny wants to join the army. The bad puppets show up and they attack. The puppets all face off. Danny will be accepted into the army. The bad puppets kill Collins. Danny and the puppets go to the Nazi lair to get Tunneler. They find Freuhoffers lab. They find Tunneler. They also have Six Shooter who they found earlier. Moebius catches them and his new puppets attack. There is a battle. Six Shooter kills Bombshell. Stone and Moebius fight. Moebius kills him. Six Shooter shoots Moebius, but he isn't dead. He is going to attack Danny but Blade stabs him and kills him. Freuhoffer is freed by Danny and Beth and the puppets. They don't see that he has some of the serum with him...


I enjoyed this film. It is another fun sequel in this series of movies. Yes, it isn't the best film ever, but there was enough to keep me entertained. I liked the inclusion of some new puppets. Bombshell was amusing. The others had their own unique personalities also. I liked how this followed on nicely from the previous movie. Overall, if you enjoy these Puppet Master films, then you should like this. I did. I will give it a 5/10.
