I watched it once and I know it has a lot of fans... but God did this suck! I said it right after I finished the movie 2 years ago, this is the movie that spearheaded the age-old saying that all Part 2's are inferior to their originals. This movie created "Sequels suck!" I don't remember the music but I will say all the special effects were pretty good. And the film was shot very well. And I even got scared a couple of times. When the characters were in that town / on the street where nothing was happening. To me- that's when most horror movies really cook. When there's time to build up the unknown. But, Reggie ruined the movie. As did the new Mike and the female lead. Mostly Reggie though. They tried to make him an action hero and I'm not impressed. Even William Katt in
House (which I think is underrated, compared to this movie which is a huge cult sensation) was more thrilling than Banister is in any
Phantasm movie. Hell- even George Wendt is more Bruce Campbell than Reggie Banister will ever be in my eyes. And of course, there's Michael Gross in
Tremors. Sorry, Coscarelli. I haven't seen
Bubba Ho-Tep yet but I'll take
Incident On and Off a Mountain Road over this wretched sequel any day.

That was
Phantasm III.
Unless she did both. But you're talking to a
The Real World fanatic (circa- the seasons worth sitting through, basically 1 through 9 only). The director's marker-board thingy said "
Phantasm III."
