Puppet Show is one of those curious horror flicks that lingers in your mind, even if it flies under the radar. The story follows Ringmaster Rick, who gets a bit too cozy with dark forces to bring his marionette, Charlie Chowderhead, to life. There's this unsettling atmosphere throughout, fueled by the practical effects that really bring the puppetry to life in a creepy way. It’s a slow burn, with a pacing that lets the tension build, making those moments when Charlie moves all the more jarring. Performances are a mixed bag, yet they add to the overall weirdness. This film's exploration of ambition and the cost of success ties it together, giving it a unique flavor among other horror movies of its time.
