Puff, The Magic Dragon
“Puff has appeared to me both childlike and wise, a king but also a willing follower of just about any bright spirit that inspired him.

Reviews for "Cursed Hands: The Supernatural Powers of the Puppet Wrangler"
1. Jessica - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with "Curse of the puppet wrangler". The plot was all over the place and it was hard to follow what was going on. The characters were also very one-dimensional and lacked any depth. The special effects were subpar and didn't add anything to the overall movie experience. Overall, I wouldn't recommend wasting your time on this film.
2. Michael - 1/5 - Where do I even begin with "Curse of the puppet wrangler"? The acting was atrocious, and it felt like the entire cast was sleepwalking through their lines. The storyline was predictable and unoriginal, and I found myself checking my watch multiple times throughout the movie. The puppetry, which should have been the highlight, was laughable and not the least bit scary. Save your money and watch something else.
3. Emily - 2/5 - As a horror movie enthusiast, I was excited to watch "Curse of the puppet wrangler", but it turned out to be a letdown. The pacing was incredibly slow, and there were long stretches of boredom that made me lose interest. The puppets themselves were not creepy or menacing, but rather comical and cartoonish. The ending was confusing and left me with more questions than answers. Overall, this movie failed to deliver the scares and thrills I was expecting.
