Phantasm...WTF was this crap?
Anyone here seen this movie? Some friends of mine recommeded it to me and after watching it I feel as though I am going to have to kick their ass. To those who have seen it can you explain that stupid ending? This movie just eclipsed Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind as being the dumbest movie I have ever seen.

Isn't that the one with the flying steel ball that whips out some small jagged swords and slams into folks' foreheads???
Never saw the whole thing...................

Ahh, yes ! Phantasm ! Reggie Bannister, the pony-tailed bald guy ! Angus Scrimm, The Tall Man ! Murky, hard-to-follow plot, juvenile acting...But once you've seen that verdammte ball auger itself into someone's noggin...well, it's STILL a pretty dumb movie....

the trick to the cult following is you have to watch it knowing it sucks ass and laugh your head off... some assistance may be requred... and a big group of friends helps alot to... beleave it or not there are 4... maybe 5 of them... one day last summer me and some friends watched 1-4... very funny... and yes one of the worst moves ever made

The only thing I did find intersting about the movie was that in the living room of jody's there were some nice looking tower speakers but I have no idea what they were. That Barracuda was pretty sweet as well.

As well as I remember, "Phantasm" wasn't even really all THAT scary- memorable really, only, for the rather odd characters who played in it.

It was supposed to play out like a nightmare, you know, all out of order. It's biggest problem was the only people who watched it were awake and just thought it was a random abutment of scenes. I have a friend who still thinks it was fantastic.

I was 14 - no moped yet - late night at a friends - Phantasm - one heck of a scary bike ride home.
Having seen parts of it since I believe I was the right age. Pete

Phantasm is one of my favorite all time horror movies. Plot? not really. Acting? None here. Oscar winning special effects? No mention of Lucas. But it is what it is, and it doesn't try to be anything else. It's a cheese flick you watch on a saturday night when there is nothing else to watch. I loved it!!

Yeah, I kinda got the "Stream-of-conciousness" shtick, but it was still sort of a not very good flick. However, we ARE talking about it nearly 30 yrs down the road, musta made SOME impression on a bunch of us...
