An fine sequel.
Nov 6 2001
Format:VHS Tape
Nine years ago The Tall Man (Angus Scrimm) though he has killed Micheal Pearson (James LeGros replacing A. Micheal Baldwin) is now all grown up. Micheal is planning to killed The Tall Man with the helped of his friend Reggie (Reggie Bannister). The two embark on a dangerous mission with a young woman (Paula Lrvine) to stop The Tall Man.
Written and Directed by Don Cascarelli (Phantasm Series, The Beastmaster, Kenny & Company) made an good Sequel but the film has an weak lead performance by Legros & it`s also has a little too much of humor but Phantasm fans will love it. Grade:B.

The continuing adventures of Reggie and Mike
July 24 2001
Format:VHS Tape
Phantasm 2 is loads of fun, and Coscarelli keeps very faithful to the "Phantasm" world he created. James Le Gros does a credible job of playing a more buffed up Mike. And Reggie is everyone's favorite ice cream dude with the 4 barreled shotgun...watch for the cool chainsaw war he has with one of the Tall Man's henchmen. The Tall Man, played by the legendary Angus Scrimm is at his sinister best, and one imagines Mother Angelica from the Catholic Channel fainting as he tells a hapless priest,"You think when you die you go to Heaven....?...You come to US!!!!"One of the coolest and best lines in all the 4 films. Mike and Reggie do their best to score hot chicks in this one, but the Tall Man ruins everything as usual. The death of the Tall Man is one of the coolest horror scenes you'll ever see, very imaginative and gory. But death is not the end...Because its not a dream...No, its NOT!...Highly recommended.

A VERY CHILLING AND POWERFUL SEQUEL
Aug 10 2000
Format:VHS Tape
Phantasm II (1988)
Phantasm II is the sequel to the 1979 horror classic,Phantasm. If you ask me,it's just as good as Phantasm,if not better.
The story is simple.Michael Pearson (James LeGros) talks his doctors into freeing him from a mental hospital.Michael has been in a mental hospital for quite some time,due to his crazy story about the events from Phantasm (the hooded midget monks, flying spheres,etc).Michael convinces them that those were just leftover nightmares.
The doctors foolishly believe Michael and let hime free.He contacts his long-time friend Reggie (Reggie Bannister) into stopping the sinister mortician known as "The Tall Man" (Angus Scrimm)."The Tall Man" is a very tall mortician who is strong enough to lift up a casket and multiple people.He targets a beautiful young girl named Liz (Paula Irvine),who Michael & Reggie intend to rescue then destroy "The Tall Man".
This time their not un-prepared.Michael & Reggie break into an abandoned hardware store and take some powerful weapons in the process.Makeshift flamethrowers,quadrulple-barreled shotguns, chainsaws,power drills,and various other weapons are used as Michael & Reggie hunt down "The Tall Man".
The special effects are excellent (the finale is very cool), the story great,the acting wonderful (Angus Scrimm is brilliant as "The Tall Man"),and the film a thrill ride from start to finish.Phantasm II is in my opinion the best of the entire Phantasm series.I would highly suggest you buy it now.It's one of the most entertaining,engrossing,scariest movies your bound to see.An underrated classic (besides it's predecessor).

bigger budget, but not a better film
While the original "Phantasm" wasn't one of my favorite horror films, it did have some good, low-budget shocks and quirks. Read more

A waste of money, time and space
This movie has to be one of the worst movies ever created. It brings a new meaning to the phrase senseless violence. It simply doesn't make sense. Read more

can't give it 5 stars but I still love it!
To give a cheesy-yet-kickass horror movie a 5-star rating is a little over-the-top, but none the less I really love this one! Read more
