    Phantasm Oblivion\ just finished watching it

    *spoilers* ahead


    Well it wasnt as bad as i kept hearing but it wasnt great either. I liked how they kept it personal Reggie and Mike no new people needed. The story line was decent but they could have done much better i think.

    Things that bothered me!

    They hinted several times through the movie that maybe Mike would become the next tall man then in the end that didnt happen at all.

    They then hinted they might shed some light on who the tall man is, where he came from, and what he wants but answered none of these questions.

    Things i noticed!

    The night it all began the tall man went thru the door way and came back holding a small spheer. Then at the end of the movie the Tall man comes thru the door way takes the spheer out of Mikes head and holds it just like he did in the first scene and walked thru the door way. Keep in mind they had just blown the tall man up as well! WHY IS THE MOVIE SO COMPLICATED, is it poor writing or is it done intentionally?


    My take!

    Good B movie i guess just not a great plot out line really, they should have taken the opertunity to answer questions the other movies dwelled on for years.

    Who is the tall man, my guess would either be the devil, a demon. Mr. Morningside opened a gate way to another world some thing else came back in his skin.


    I dont want to see another one unless they answer all our questions but i doubt that will ever happen. I thik i would rather just see some one remake the series put some decent cash behind it and end it answering all our questions instead of leaving us hanging.

    I give this movie a D- they really should have ended this for the fans, the way they went about it only ticked me off. This is a very under rated series it would just be nice to have some closure!

    It's not as bad as you heard but you give it a D-, the equivalent of a 2

    The only thing worse then bad movies is people who state their opinions as FACTS.

    I just watched the first phantasm today, knowing that the fourth one sucks kind of discourages me.

    This whole series needs one more movie, an ender to explain crap and tie up lose ends. So much about the series I enjoyed: the spheres, the multi-barreled shotgun, regular camera shots of breasts, midget zombies. If they could just bring the story together in a final film, it would be one of my favorite series. As it stands, its hard to suggest anyone watch this series. Well, without drinking to the point where you don't care about the story anyways.

    Our immortality is found in the words and actions of our children.

    You see relatives at holidays, weddings, and funerals, but family is always with you.

    Do not steal, rape, or murder. Everything else is fair game.

    Facing failure is easier than running from regret.

    Pretty cool series. Obviously it needs one more to finish the thing. I might pull the boxset out and watch it again. Its been awhile

    Just watched the fourth one and I loved the story to it. I also liked the way they used footage from the first movie, to make it seem like they went back into time. I just wish they did more to it. Added more sphere kills maybe? But I do understand they wanted to keep it personal, between Reggie, Mike and The Tall Man. It's a great series and I'm really glad I watched them all.

    The order from best to worst is probably 2,1,3,4
