- tafreem29 August 2025One of the best movies of all time!!!!! Reggie and The Tall Man are icons!!!
- Burnharm20 June 2025Phantasm is a cult classic that thrives more on style than substance. While the script can be disjointed and the story occasionally hard to follow, the film delivers a surreal, dreamlike atmosphere that sets it apart from typical horror fare. The iconic flying silver sphere is a standout, both visually inventive and genuinely unsettling. Though it may not be the most coherent or polished film, its creativity and eerie tone make it a memorable experience for fans of offbeat horror.
- Desmond Dale24 January 2025There are tons of memorable shots and absolutely bonkers moments that summon the feeling of sublime. Everyone has beautiful hair and the child protagonist is one of the mostly badass kids ever portrayed on film. It's a visual and aural spectacle with a soundtrack so hard that Master P sampled it on "Pass Me The Green." It's the weird, dark fantasy that Nightmare on Elm Street dreams it was, pun intended.
