Editorial Review:
If You Don t Get It This Time He ll Have To Drill It Into Your Head!The mutant dwarf creatures are attacking the silver spheres are flying and The Tall Man is back with a vengeance! Fifteen years after the original horror classic writer/producer/director Don Coscarelli reunites brothers Mike (A. Michael Baldwin) and Jody (Bill Thornbury) to help their friend Reggie (Reggie Bannister) destroy The Tall Man (Angus Scrimm) once and for all. Is the ultimate force of evil any match for a bald former ice cream vendor with a 70 Hemicuda and a four-barrel shotgun? Cindy Ambuehl (JAG) co-stars in this insane sequel packed with sex violence and gore galore that takes the PHANTASM series to a whole new dimension!Runtime: 91 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR Rating: NR UPC: 013131511093 Manufacturer No: DV15110
In the original Phantasm, The Tall Man (Angus Scrimm), a villainous mortuary employee, breeds dwarves inside tombs to be "workers" in another realm. Don Coscarelli's film was enticingly cryptic, but Phantasm III is a confused mess. Mike (A. Michael Baldwin) and his big brother, Jody (Bill Thornbury), are recently orphaned and become grossly entangled in the supernatural crime scene occurring at the cemetery, as The Tall Man seeks to kill everyone in town. The boys recruit Jody's buddy, Reggie (Reggie Bannister), an ice cream man, to help squelch The Tall Man, to no avail. In Phantasm III, the same boys, all grown up, are still battling The Tall Man, though his dwarves have multiplied and have wiped out entire cities across Idaho. Zombies prevail, and the viewer never really finds out The Tall Man's purpose, or why he wants to claim Mike. Phantasm's inimitable mystery and style, with the chrome orb that flies towards victim's heads with rotating blades, the finger in a box that bleeds yellow goo, or the tuning fork gate to the dwarf netherworld, is replaced in Phantasm III by schlock gore, in which dwarves are shot with machine guns and felled like trees. Mystery is spoiled by too much dialogue spoken by the before nearly-mute Tall Man, and by the dwarves who've acquired silly monster faces under hoods that previously hid their identity. The film's greatest asset is its wondrously eerie title theme song by Fred Myrow and Malcolm Seagrave, reiterated from the original horror masterpiece. --Trinie Dalton

Rating:  - Stupid movie, but I love it. :-)
Tall man. Little silver balls with brains. LOL
The whole concept of this series is so stupid it is laughable. I saw my first Phantazm movie around 21 years ago. I thought it was stupid then too. But I loved it then and I still enjoy them today!
I wish the other two were available in the U.S. I need those two in order to complete my set of brain wasting, little silver ball flying, stupid Phantazm collection.
Another good movie is Dead Alive. You need to catch ... Read More
Rating:  - Not my favorite from the Phantasm series but still good.
Phantasm 3 was just O.K. compared to the rest of the series I thought it was the weakest film, the storyline becomes rather silly especially towards the second half but it was still fun to watch and enjoyably to a certain level. The good thing about this film was that the original cast returns and that also includes the actor who played Jody who was Mike's older brother but he obviously returns as a ghost who warns Mike about The Tall Man, the original actor Micheal Baldwin returns as Mike who after ...

Rating: - Pretty solid third sequel!
I can pretty honestly say that "Phantasm" along with "Hellraiser, Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th" were the last of the good horror films. Part 3 to this installment of Don Coscarelli's masterpiece was pretty good i will say. But, where in the heck is part 2 to this installment. I can't understand for the life of me why it was never released on dvd. It was one of the better ones. I guess somebody at some point will wake up and get it released one day. I still have yet to see part 4. But ... Read More
Rating: - The Best of the Series
The Tall Man at his most vocal and cryptic. The heart of what can be called the "story arc" of the series. The whole cast reunites for this one, after being separated for part two. Excellent special effects and music, and the best story of all four movies.
"Seeing is easy. Understanding... well, that takes a little more time."
Rating: - The uncut version
After listening to Don interview for amazon(click on it above) I agree this is better than the origial version which was cut down by the mpaa to get the R rating. These are the type of movies you can watch over and over again because there are so mucn in them...My Fav is #4 followed by #1 but all of them are great. The transfer is first rate as well as the sound....you cannot go wrong on this one...
