パペット・マスター 悪魔の人形伝説 (2003)

豆知識

Puppet Master: The Legacy is a 2003 direct-to-DVD horror film written by C. Courtney Joyner and David Schmoeller, and directed by Charles Band. It is the eighth installment in the Puppet Master franchise. It stars Jacob Witkin as an elderly Peter Hertz and Kate Orsini as a mercenary hired to confront Hertz for information regarding the magic puppeteer André Toulon used to animate his puppets. The majority of the film consists of flashbacks using footage recycled from the previous seven films.

Production

After producing the slasher film Bleed in 2002 at Blockbuster’s request, producer Charles Band entered negotiations with the company to make another Puppet Master film, as the series had proven to be a successful rental at Blockbuster stores. After losing distribution deals with Paramount, The Kushner-Locke Company, and Tempe Entertainment, the studio lacked the budget to produce a new feature-length film.

The clips used in the film were prechosen with the new scenes written around them. The idea for the film was to address and fix several of the plot holes and continuity errors that the later sequels had introduced. The new scenes were filmed in one day in a single room, set at the Bodega Bay Inn, a central location in the series.
