Summary: True art-house fare disguised as mainstream horror.
Review: I remember first becoming aware of "Phantasm" as an 8 year old after seeing a teaser trailer for it on early evening British television. The relentless succession of genuinely bizarre and fascinating images instantly sent my pre-pubescent heart racing and seeing the amazing poster art in the lobby of my local movie theatre shortly after fuelled my great expectations; here was a film whose vision of fear and darkness coincided with my own, whose horrors were fantastical as well as frightening and whose explanations would not be contained by the everyday though they would encompass it. When I actually got to see this mini-masterpiece at a holiday camp two years later (my younger brother and I watching on an early video projector in a darkened auditorium that doubled up as a conference room - alone, save for a sleeping grandfather), all my expectations of true fright, my hopeful fears of obliterating, cataclysmismic terror were joyfully consummated. We fled the "cinema", short-trousered and screaming, ducking flying silver spheres all the way back to the safety of outdoor swimming pools and crazy golf. Nearly twenty years down the line I still have a special fondness for this film, a feeling of nostalgia mixed with a real appreciation of its cinematic power. This is a tale about childhood fears told for adults that can be enjoyed by either condition. It is also, I believe a genuinely subversive work, an "art" film cloaked in the guise of mainstream horror fare that achieved mass audience appeal as well as critical acceptance; truly "a wolf in sheeps clothing", confronting unsuspecting audiences with a surrealist,visionary enterpretation of loss, death and sex. Okay, so that sounds a bit O.T.T. but I LIKE THIS MOVIE! I won't bore you with a synopsis of the fragmentary, hallucinatory plot, just see it now and make up your own mind. As for the sequels; TWO is equally wonderful, THREE is total nonsense and FOUR is as-yet-unreleased in the UK.

Summary: this movie is cool
Review: I liked the part where that girl turned into the Tall Man and killed that guy in the cemetery. I think the Tall Man is cool. I think they should make a movie where the Tall Man tries to do something normal such as: try out for the county bowling league, playing a pinball machine, playing blackjack in Las Vegas, drinking a beer at the pub, playing lead guitar with a local band, working as a short order cook at a diner, or being a ice cream man.

Summary: One really PhAnTaStIc movie!
Review: When I first saw it in 1994, I was so amazed with the over all greatness of this movie. Young Mike incounters The Tall Man and his aray of Killer Silver sphears. Good Violence, great Nudity (He-He) and a great powerfull story. All of the Sequels are great, but I havn't had a chance to see oblIVon yet.

Summary: A must see for any Phan
Review: This movie is simply a cult classic. The story of young Mike and Jody encountering the evil tall man. Im not quite sure about the plot for this one but its still rocks anyway. The sequels were all good also and hope that Don will make more in the future. Watch out for the flying Ball!! A must see for any PHAN

Summary: An Unrelenting Onslaught Of Weirdness!!!
Review: After I first saw this movie for the first time I said to myself "What the heck was that!?!" From start to finish I couldn't make a damn bit of sense out of "Phantasm" and I loved every minute of it. I shouldn't bother to explain the plot (there really isn't one): A boy (Micheal Baldwin) encounters a "Tall Man" (one of horror's greats; Angus Scrim in a truly frightening performance) in a graveyard who wants to...do something bad to him he's sure, but his curiousity gets the best of him so he follows him to a funeral home and then the fun starts. The last 30 min. (where I REALLY got lost) are the best."Phantasm" is one of the wildest, most original and unpredictable films I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing. And while this is the series best (I haven't seen "Phantasm IV" yet so...) as it has the most surprises, you should check out the sequels for more revelations on the Tall Man, because you find any here.
