The Puppetman

Tuesday, October 10, 2023

The Puppetman, a convicted killer on death row, always maintained his innocence and that it was an evil force controlling his body as he slaughtered his victims. Now Michal, the killer’s daughter, begins to suspect that there may be some truth to her fathers claim when those around her begin to die in brutal ways.

This special screening of THE PUPPETMAN is the fourth installment in “Shudder Showcase at IFC Center,” a new, monthly series that serves up special advance screenings of some of Shudder’s most exciting and provocative upcoming titles.
