Review of Phantasm

Phantasm (1979)
8/10
A warm glow of late 70's nostalgia
4 September 2006
Oh its completely insane I'll give it that if slow moving a times, but when you get right down to it phantasm is an unforgettable experience. The only real problem you'd find with it would be the quality of the picture and sound on any version you watch. Picture and sound is terrible, the film however is not. The acting and directing style are unique yet different. With various flashbacks and flashes of scenes that you don't whether they're real or not. A blend of zombie creepiness crossed with mysterious phantasical weirdness. The plot is as original as you can get, thats one area that Don Coscarelli has really excelled in. Its strange, scary and hard to understand and for that I love it.
