great for classic horror.

Rating: 4
This is one movie I was excited to get when I found it in a used DVD shop. It wasn't too scary, but was definitely a cult classic in the truest sense of the word.

It is off the wall at times, and the Tall Man is just freaky but excellent movie over-all for a cult classic, horror, and old sci-fi at same time

Greatness!.

I enjoyed this movie very much and will watch it off and on over the years! Had some dramatic/scary moments, but nothing that we havent all seen at one time or another. I was glad to get this at a bargain along with some other classics here at Amazon. For a very good, fairly light gore, interesting and entertaining, horror flick, check this baby out!!!

I've been trying for years to get this film, and finally it's here. Just as thrilling as the day it came out. Now I've got 3 of the 4, fingers crossed the 2nd one becomes available soon!

Classic Horror.

Rating: 5
This is horror with the required blood and violence, but with out the all out wanton violence in such movies as Kill Bill or Saw.

The extras are cool too! Behind the scenes home movie footage.

Rating: 5
Phantasm is a late '70s supernatural fantasy horror movie that does a great job of combining atmosphere, creepy nightmares, flying sphere-violence, location, characters, events and scares into one great, big bundle of nightmarish joy.
As an artist with a love of all things odd, unusual, beautiful, surreal, spooky and fun, this movie delivers all that and a bag of evil chips from another dimension.
Let me describe the highlights and joys of this movie:
The creepy, old cemetery setting.
The mystical, surreal hallways under the morgue.
The flying spheres with daggers at the end that contributed a great gore scene.
The almost stereotypical '70s fellas, with their collar-length hair, leather jackets and love of rock.
The evil midgets that chase you and spew yellow vomit.
The terrifying Tall Man that loves screaming, "Boyyyyy!!!!!".
The fact that the movie has the guts to add in a room with a doorway to a parallel universe halfway through.

Well, that's saying a lot right there, but I won't give away anything else of the movie. Phantasm has gone on to become a cult favorite of movie lovers everywhere, and if you haven't seen it but wanna watch something cool, scary and unusual, I wholeheartedly recommend this gem. Thanks for the time, and peace.
