771 Puppet Master (1989 )

 This  film  went  straight  to  video  but  became  so  popular  it  established  a  franchise You  can see  why there  were  doubts  about  its  viability  for  the  cinema. The  first  half  hour  tests  your  patience  as  you  haven't got a clue what's  going  on  but  it  then settles into a  superior haunted house movie  with a twist. It could do with a more  personable  lead  than heavy-browed Paul Le Mat as  Alex   and  his  hideous  mullet but it's not bad  otherwise.

Irene Miracle ( as Dana)

Sex : Dana propositions Alex but he turns her down 

Death : Dana has her throat cut by the Blade puppet

Irene was born in Oklahoma  but  first  appeared in Italian cinema in the mid seventies. She is best known for her role as Brad Davis's  girlfriend in "Midnight Express". She  appeared to have retired in 1996 but  reappeared in a horror  film in 2024.

Robin Frates ( as Megan )

Sex : No

Death : Survives

This  was  Robin's  scond  film.  Although she  had  a  respectable career n  film and TV  up to 2002, little is known about her.

Kathryn O'Reilly ( as Carissa )

Sex : Carissa has sex with her boyfriend as a psychic experiment

Death : The Driller puppet drills into her brain 

Barbara Crampton ( as Woman at Carnival )

Sex : No

Death : Survives

This  brief cameo  in a largely irrelevant scene  is  a  strange choice by Barbara.
