Curse of the Puppetmaster

This was a straight-to-video movie right? it had to be. First, the puppet Jester looked nothing like it did in the previous movies. I don't know if someone lost the puppet between movies, or they decided to give it a new look, but it was pretty obvious, which brings me to my next point. Rather than animate the puppets, they cut scenes from the other movies and pasted them throughout the movie. Again, Jester looked different in the other movies, so you could esily tell the difference. Terrible. And where was Tourch? He was in a few of the other movies, but not in this one? And didn't the Leech Woman puppet die? Weird. And what was with those thunderstorms? There were 4 or 5 of them, but there was never any rain! I give it a 1.5 out of 5.
