In a startling change from the standard late-period Full Moon horror flicks, which featured lame premises poorly executed, Totem (1999) written and directed by stable workhorses David DeCoteau and Benjamin Carr, features a premise that’s original and intriguing.
(Still poorly executed, of course.)

Wasn’tTotems the name of the evil creatures in the fourth Puppet Master film?

Yes they were, and I wouldn’t be surprised if at one time this movie was intended as some sort of spin-off for them.
You know, I liked the PM4 Totems.I thought they had one of the better designs in the FM ouevre–they looked roughly hewn out of gnarled wood, and had those big nifty totemesque heads.
Too bad their “daemonic boss” came off so lame. (He’d have been better paired with the goofy-looking things in this movie.)
