 While the psychic angle is a bit wonky and this low-budgeter is a little slow to get rolling it’s main drawing card (the puppets) certainly don’t disappoint. Director Schmoeller handles it all fine and the acting is okay on a B-movie level to make this amostly enjoyable debut by Full Moon that only promises more genre friendly fare.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
The film has a painfully slow pace, but the climax is OK. Producer/writer Charles Band was able to milk an entire franchise out of it.-- (eSplatter.com)

| Classic puppet movie that spawned many sequels. Don't bother with the previous two in the series, but if you haven't seen this or the sequels I recommend you rent parts 1 to 5 and watch it with a bunch of friends. 6/10 --FrighT MasteR (UHM)
