SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Zbigniew_Krycsiwiki Mostly well done documentary about the making of Don Coscarelli's Phantasm series, using a combination of newly filmed interviews with various cast and crew members, and behind the scenes footage from all the films. The majority of this documentary focuses on the original film, with a look at some unused outtakes from the first film, and a variety of behind the scenes stories, before touching upon (in less detail) the belated sequels.It is interesting, not only hearing these stories, but also seeing how the actors look in 2005, compared to how they appeared in the films, when they were decades younger.But if there is a downside to this documentary, it's that it may reveal a bit too much, and strips away a little too much of Phantasm's mystique.

Shawn Watson Everything you ever wanted to know about Phantasm is right here in this 97-minute feature with interviews from Don Coscarelli, producer Paul Pepperman, Angus Scrimm, Reggie Bannister, Michael Baldwin and Bill Thornbury.The inspirations, the studio politics, the filming, the SFX, the brilliant score and the characters are all discussed in great length and detail and if your into these films you'll totally love it. All of the interviewees have perfect recollection of most of the events, dating as far back as 28 years ago. Especially interesting is Don Coscarelli's explanations of the evolution of the story as the series progressed and anything the elegant and classy Angus Scrimm says is like listening to an old English professor read poetry from a book, even if he is talking about an inter-dimensional grave-robbing Tall Man.If only all film documentaries were this way instead of the usual promotional fluff rubbish eh?

SrCAPnCDLvl99 This is without hesitation one of the best documentaries made about a film, a series of films or in this case; a cult phenomenon. It has been a long journey from the conception of an idea for a Phantasm box set to the finished product conceived October 31st 2005, but never have us phans had any doubts in our gods at Anchor Bay UK. Thread after thread have been started, read and closed the last couple of years at Phantasmfilms.com, and endless discussions have in some cases ended with the same kind of mysterious questions the films themselves pose.At the time when the specs for the box set were finally released, it came as no surprise that an feature-length documentary was part of the deal. Phantasmagoria as it was named is the ultimate of dreams for fans of the series as it literally contains everything you ever wanted to know about the Phantasm saga. From the use of Lego parts in killer spheres to how to make your own dwarf sounds, everyone is interviewed in detail with the exception of LeGros. Phantastic stuff not to be missed by anyone with the slightest bit of interest in the films, or in the horror genre in general.
