Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

trashgang Phantasm isn't the franchise that gets me by the throat but number 3 does deliver what I was looking for. It's action from the beginning until the end and it do has some nasty shots.Somehow part 1 and 2 showed that it was some kind of low budget flick but here all the money did go to the effects. And they are this time well done with some gory parts and a bit of comedy added. Still it's not a comedy it's a pure fantasy/horror flick. The story itself is always the same, fighting against the tall man and his spheres. But don't watch it for the story, enjoy the action with some old school effects (latex) and the high tech effects CGI wise used back then (morphing).If you haven't seen earlier Phantasm flicks, don't worry, there's a bit of explanation at the beginning.Gore 1/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 3/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 0/5

loomis78-815-989034 Picking up where part II leaves off, Mike (Baldwin) and Reggie (Banister) barley escape the Tall Man (Scrimm) and go into hiding. A silver sphere catches up to them but it is somehow Jody (Thornbury) Mike's dead brother from the original. Jody warns them that the Tall Man is coming for them and they need to hide out. In a thrilling scene the Tall Man captures Mike and takes him away. Reggie, through urging from Jody, heads out to find Mike. Along the way he picks up a couple of side kicks including Timmy (Kevin Connors) and a tough chick named Rocky (Gloria Lynne Henry). Eventually the group meets up with Mike and helps him to escape. The Tall Man in this movie seems obsessed with keeping Mike. He seems to have other plans for him, but in the tradition of the Phantasm series we never find out why. It's nice to see Bill Thornbury as Jody being worked back into the series even in this bizarre way and A. Michael Baldwin returns as Mike after his absence in part II. Mike's character gets taken by the Tall Man so early on we lose him for half the movie. So instead of the preferred Reggie & Mike teaming of part II Reggie is teamed up with lesser characters. Still Phantasm III has some scary moments and others that are truly bizarre. The gore is up to par all though not quite as showy as the impressive Part II's set pieces. The cast is comfortable with their roles and once again Angus Scrimm as the Tall Man is impressive. Series Director and creator Don Coscerelli chooses to show the audience the Tall Man more in this one but never cheapens him. Fans of the series will roll right along with this not even trying to explain some of the weird mythology at work here. Part III is the most unbalanced of the series and newcomers will be thoroughly confused. The conclusion is pure cliffhanger with Mike possessed by a sphere the Tall Man has put into his brain and Reggie pinned to the wall by a dozen spheres. Coscarelli knows how to make a small budget look bigger than it is, and all though the scares are a little more spread out in this segment, Part III has some great moments fans of the series should enjoy.

anders_aren The 3 film in the phantasm series was not that good I think. The special effects could have been better since it's not that old. The really good part that I really liked about this one and phantasm II, was the resume of what has happened and that the characters isn't changed that much BIG PLUS. And to you who doesn't liked it "It's time for you boy" Phantasm III lets us follow Reggie and Mike from the end of PII. It doesn't take long till we loose Mike to "the Tall Man" and this movie really takes it start. We also meets two new characters Tim and Rocky(woman) and this sequel is on. A little to many spheres I think for this one but at least I give it a 7/10.

WisdomsHammer Unlike many other reviewers, out of the Phantasm series, I liked this one the best. They really had fun with this one and didn't take themselves too seriously. And it was actually funny!The movie picks up where the second one ended, but I don't think you necessarily need to see the first two movies to enjoy this one. There are plenty of flashbacks and, frankly, it's a pretty crazy story to follow in any case. I think this one actually made more sense than the first two.The first Phantasm was an amateur pet project that was literally a bunch of friends working weekends putting together a horror movie for fun. It was and is a cult hit.The second movie had more money behind it but, in my opinion, tried to take itself a little too seriously for such ridiculous subject matter.For me, this movie had the perfect balance of horror and comedy. It was hilarious, horrific, and sometimes both at the same time. Good fun with decent make-up effects and an amazing car stunt with a hearse. I also really liked the way they introduced one of the main characters, the kid. I could see that idea being a great movie on its own: Home Alone done as a horror movie.In the DVD commentary (yes, believe it or not, I even listened to the commentary) Baldwin asked Angus what the fan reaction to this movie was. He said that people either hated it for the comedy element or loved it because of it. I'm in the latter category.If you're looking for top-notch acting and dialogue or a story that makes sense, this is not your movie. But if you like b-horror movies on the humorous side, I definitely recommend you give this one a shot.
