Puppet Master 4 (1993)

A young scientist working on an artificial intelligence project is the target of strange gremlin-like creatures, who are out to kill him and thus terminate his research. By coincidence, in one of the rooms he uses, there’s a mysterious case containing the puppets of the “puppet master”. When the puppets are brought to life, they help destroy the creatures.
