By the end, you feel you’ve been given the run around for a merely serviceable story that’s unmemorable.

It is all engaging, even if the presentation is uneven from time to time.

CBR

The Puppetman is a new horror flick that fails to convey an effective story or major scares.

Jonathan DeHaan

Nightmare on Film Street

A supernatural shocker that boasts some of the year’s most brutal moments in horror. Condenses an entire season of television into an hour-and-a-half feature.

Rated: 7/10

Mark Reviews Movies

It's a shame ... that the whole narrative doesn't accomplish the sort of twistedly satisfying payoff that the movie's individual scenes of horror do.

Rated: 2.5/4

Paste Magazine

Ambitious ideas about sleepwalking roommates and waking possessions are visually arresting in spurts, yet repetitive come the film’s close.
