Leslie Felperin Guardian A reasonably competent, mildly amusing monster mash. Rated: 3/5 Apr 19, 2019 Full Review Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich brings puppet carnage and mayhem to insane new heights, unafraid to break every single taboo along their quest to fulfill their Fuhrer's bidding. Rated: 4.5/5 Dec 5, 2018 Full Review Andrew Whalen Newsweek The Littlest Reich is not just a clockwork puppet slasher, but a gleeful gore movie situated somewhere between Peter Jackson's Dead Alive and Troma. Aug 20, 2018 Full Review Tom Beasley Flickering Myth A film so deliciously silly and outrageously inappropriate that it's impossible not to be carried along by its madness. Rated: 3/5 Aug 16, 2020 Full Review Drew Tinnin Dread Central World War III begins on your toy shelf. Rated: 3.0 Jul 30, 2020 Full Review Christian Toto HollywoodInToto.com The franchise reboot is gross and guileless, a romp through B-movie mayhem with zero apologies. Consider yourself warned. Rated: 3/4 Jan 7, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

g j Paradoxically this is far better than it has any right to be. It is quite slickly shot and well-paced with quite expensive looking practical effects. Even more surprisingly, it has LIKEABLE protagonists, decent dialogue and passable humour to boot. Really very solidly above average in every respect. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review Audience Member I guess I get why this got a poor viewer rating, but the critic rating is a more accurate score for this film in my opinion. The subject matter is offensive, and thats obviously the point. I think that there are plenty of tasteless films out there that try to build on the same concept, but have no redeeming qualities. The low blows are a big part of what makes this a worthwhile watch. Technically, its beautiful. The puppetry and practical effects are great. The acting is bad at times, but it seems intentional so that you don't forget what you are watching. I don't think I am alone when I say that I am really sick of overdone computer generated effects that fail to elevate the film and often become the main focus. Here, we have an abundance of carnage, done the good old fashioned way. You might not be into splatter-fests, and I understand if the plot is too distasteful, but when it comes down to it, this is a really well rounded extreme horror comedy that delivers all it promises and more. You will probably know if this isn't for you by reading the title. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review R P Every once in a while you come across a movie that may surprise you. Right now, that movie for me is Puppet Master Littlest Reich. I went into this movie expecting, well, I went in with no expectations of enjoying it. But, it was decent. To the point I'm kind of excited for more Puppet Master movies. (https://foreverfinalgirl.com/puppet-master-littlest-reich/) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/22 Full Review Audience Member Unpolished, yet newer without any of the genius of the originals. There’s blood when there is some with a sad Indy feel. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/07/21 Full Review ellis f Though it lost me sometimes during the movie the overall product is inventive, gory fun. The puppets have never been more menacing. In all honesty, I enjoyed this one more than the original 1989 outing. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review brad p Unapologetic ‘Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich' Delivers Bonkers Gore and Offensive Humor!
