    Phantasm

    i just got a deal for this series from the original till the 4th installment. Just got done watching the first one and here are some thoughts.
    First of all i remember catching bits of these movies back when i was a kid on hallowen nights and never understanding what the hell was going on, i just thought the little flying murdering spheres were cool.
    Anyways, the first movie, going in not knowing what to expect was good. This movie revolves around an alien disguised as The Tall Man who turns bodies into slaves to send back to his planet. Being scared or even surprised by a movie from that era nowdays is really hard, so dont be expecting a nailbitter here. It has all the flaws of the cheap horror movies from back then, cheesy dialogue, a whole bunch of plot holes, and bad acting.
    But of course there are some upsides, like The Tall Man, very interesting bad guy. And the kid in the film can really act, that was good. The story quite original, has a very good ending.
    If u can ignore the flaws mentioned above, u can really enjoy this movie.
    Above all 5.5/10
    hope the sequels are better.

    Phantasm was a great movie. I wish Don Cascarelli would finish the series already.

    I love the first three,part four is OK I consider it more of a bonus disc.
    Cascarelli does need to finish the series,while Scrimm could still play the part.

    Scimm probably has got one foot in the grave. If they are gonna do it, it had better be this year.
