  • Disappointing to say the least.

    I am a proud child of the 1980s and I love the nostalgia that comes from all the great horror movies of the 70s throughout the 80s.

    I had seen bits and pieces of Phantasm on TV for Halloween, on Sunday afternoons and so one. I found what I saw to be both cheesy and interesting, so I decided to pick up the special edition DVD.

    I'll get right to the point. This movie is LAME....Big Time. I understand that the budget was low and it was not yet the prime of modern horror, but Phantasm offers little to nothing as a so called "classic film".

    Aside from the darkly lit nights and the 70's hairstyles, the movie offers minimum 1970s nostalgia. As for the movie itself, the story just seems undecided and filled with gaps. How a group of filmmakers got together and decided to make a movie based on this script is very surprising.

    In the end, nothing really happens in this movie. There's a few cool scenes with a Tall Man, one gory scene with a flying orb, and little dwarfs running amok from another dimension. All these elements could make for one hell of a gory/cheesy/nostalgic midnight movie, but they just don't. The most offensive part is the confusing and nonlinear ending. The movie makes you realize that you pretty much wasted your time right before the ending credits roll.

    A very disappointing 3 out of 10.

  • Disappointing to say the least.

    As a fan of the crude yet classic "Fist of the North Star" movie from 1986, I must say that I was looking forward to the same formula with updated animation. That is not what this new film delivers at all...

    The animation is breathtaking and the character art is beautifully done similar to the animation in Ninja Scroll. But the violence level is all toned down and the character Kenshiro is no longer a great hero but simply a bore. The film is still bloody with a few impressive fight scenes but there is not one scene where anyone's head explodes nor is the film gory in the manga tradition. I think in America it would get a PG-13 rating at best.

    The movie is long and boring with all its senseless dialogue,there are very few fight scenes, the retro-charm found in the original is lost and only a few scenes resemble anything close to mad max (which made the first movie so good). I d say this is good for one sitting just to get a glimpse of the pretty animation. thats about it.

    2 out of 5 stars,

  • A flamboyant disaster, a huge insult to the horror/action genre
