dave s If you go into this with the expectation that puppets would be on the attack, a reasonable assumption for a film titled Attack of the Puppet People, you will be very disappointed. If you go into this expecting yet another low-budget, American International B-movie, there will be no surprises. When a lonely dollmaker (who also seems to moonlight as a scientist) with a God complex creates a logic-defying machine that enables him to shrink humans to a thimble-like size, the people around him start to disappear, eventually showing up in finger-sized test tubes. It's all pretty dopey stuff that, beyond the absurdity of the central premise, is filled with massive leaps of logic. There are plenty of unintentional laughs over the final half of the movie, but, despite its short running time, it is all a bit of a slog, not surprisingly. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I enjoyed the movie! An interesting take and creative look on a novel idea. I must say it was a very dramatic take on a silly premise which made it fun. If you like serious acting in a b movie, this one's for you! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review joe m "The Attack of the Puppet People" has a bunch of shrunken people that neither attack nor are really puppets to their lonely kidnapper. The film has elements of "The Devil Doll" yet is a pale comparison in terms of story, acting and special effects. This movie is a real bomb that could only be redeemed if it were a feature on Mystery Science Theater 3000. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member "Attack of the Puppet People" (The title is all wrong by the way. They "People" are not puppets, they are actual people. Also they never "attack" anybody.) is best described as mediocre. Very mediocre. That does not mean the movie is bad, it's just flat and rather dull. It has a very interesting premise and a good story line, but it just feels like something is missing. The cast does a very good job with the script they are given (I was originally planning to give this movie two stars, but the acting made me bump my rating up slightly.). The late John Agar and the late June Kenny are very good as the lead characters and the late John Hoyt (You "Star Trek" fans might recognize him as the Chief Medical Officer of Enterprise from the original pilot for that series "The Cage".) does well also. The problem with "Attack of the Puppet People" is not the acting but the script. It seems to move way too fast and does not have enough story. Also the ending is a bit of a disappointment because it is the story is not given proper closure. Many unanswered questions remain. In the end, "Attack of the Puppet People" is worth seeing just once because it is not terrible, but I would no go out of my way to see it. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't know why this movie is at 27%. You know you're not getting Gone with the Wind, but for a Sci-fi movie from the 50's, it was greatly entertaining and the visual effects were fantastic.
