Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker (1991)
Horror Rated R
Plot
A young boy sees his father killed by a toy that was anonymously delivered to his house. After that, he is too traumatized to speak, and his mother must deal with both him and the loss of her husband. Meanwhile, a toy maker named Joe Peto builds some suspicious-looking toys, and a mysterious man creeps around both the toy store and the boy's house...but who is responsible for the killer toys?
Acting
The strongest cast of the series, which features a surprising and strong performance from Mickey Rooney, and a cameo from Clint Howard.
Gore
Still minimal like the 3rd and 4th entrys, but still has some, just nothing real notable.
Sex/Nudity
None
Final Thoughts
Although it is billed as the 5th in the series, and a prequel to part 4, but it has little to do with that one, and less to do with the first 3. It is however another solid entry into the series. It's basically a knock off of Puppet Master with a big name actor and better known (at the time) series name attached. It however is still worth watching and on par with most of the puppet master sequels.
