Is that one of the 12?

Unironically, yes. Creations turning against their creators, classic. The wizard was probably set up as the personalization of some force or ideal, like a Greek god
And let me guess… This led events that set up some kind of call to adventure for a hero, who initially ignores the warning signs until something bad happens, then he goes on a journey through a wider world than he could ever have imagined, and after defeating the villain and/or ending the threat he returns home changed?
That’s a total shot in the dark, I have no idea what movie you’re talking about, but in modern storytelling we usually have an A and B plot. And the heroes journey is by far the most common story in media
How close was I? And what’s the movie?

It is the puppet master and starting from the first scene almost everyone is murdered by puppets. No hero, no journey. Just a fun little ride for the viewer.
