Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal Oct 31, 2025
2.5/5
Very little happens until a suitably bonkers final 20 minutes, but Brad Potts delivers one of the most endearing performances here as a supporting military liaison and the Nazi-created puppets are all fun. Well, except one. You'll know it when you see it. Go to Full Review
Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Oct 5, 2012
A worthy sequel that finally focuses on progressing the mythos of Toulon's puppets... Go to Full Review

B P @Bradster69 Sep 2, 2026 Not Bad, but Not My Favorite See more Jude H. @Horrorlord Jul 13, 2025 Axis Rising is a giant dumb letdown of the previous movie. The effects are terrible, the puppets look alright, the acting is … really something and i just suggest not watching this entry See more R P @RT35320871 Jan 10, 2022 Well, what can I say about Puppet Master X: Axis Rising? No really. I'm kind of at a loss on what to say. The first red flag for me is that the two main lead characters, our survivors from the previous movie Danny and Beth, is RECAST!?!?!?! Why? If you know you are doing a trilogy, why not keep the same actors? Sigh. (https://foreverfinalgirl.com/puppet-master-axis-rising/) See more Apr 2, 2020 I went with 1/2 a star with this movie, natzis and new puppets get introduced in this movie. This one is better/newer looking quality then the past movies. Just as cringe as the past PM movies, pass up watching this movie. I only seen this movie once and once is enough, still bad acting with no name actors the puppets are nice again this time they are with a couple and a war guy vs. evil natzi puppets. See more Jun 10, 2017 Blade, Jester, Tunneler, Pinhead, Six Shooter, and Leech Woman are back! Okay, maybe that doesn't really warrant an exclamation mark, but this is the tentpole franchise of Full Moon Features, now reaching ten films in all (eleven if you count "Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys"). Writer/director/producer Charles Band is also back, but I was kind of disappointed by this sequel. Our WWII era heroes from the previous films, Danny and Beth, are back as well, though played by new actors, and find a post-WWII Nazi plot to create an army of their own evil puppets to do their bidding, using a Re-Animatior like green serum extracted from our puppet protagonists. Not that any of the films in this franchise are exactly brilliant, but this one felt too jokey. I did like it when the franchise introduced the Nazi storyline and had our homicidal puppet heroes fighting the Axis Powers, but this entry was just silly and also continued the unfortunate recent trend of Full Moon Features including casual racism, seen in this film with in addition of an evil Japanese puppet named Kamikaze. However, I do still enjoy watching little things fighting big things (i.e. "Attack of the Puppet People" "Dollman" "Child's Play" etc.) when it's not CGI, so even though this entry wasn't all that good, it did still entertain. See more Jun 2, 2015 I generally enjoy the Puppet Master franchise, but this film was just, not as fun to watch as the others... See more Read all reviews
