The Phantasm movies are weird, even by horror movie standards. There's just such a strange air of, well, weirdness to them that despite plenty of moments of black humor and quirky comedy, give the four films in the series so far a feeling of uneasiness and dread. Maybe it's the Tall Man, maybe it's the bizarre undead dwarfs that do his bidding, maybe it's the sphere or maybe it's Reggie 'Balls In The Air, Dude!' Bannister – it's really hard to put your finger on it – but something about the four films in the series is just kind of creepy. The film that started it all is still the strangest of the series thus far. When the film starts, we're introduced to a down on his luck teenager named Mike (played by Michael Baldwin) who has recently lost his mother and father. Aside from his musically inclined older brother, Jody (Bill Thornbury), and their mutual friend, a guitar playing ice cream man named Reggie (played by Reggie Bannister), he's more or less alone in the world and as such, he's a bit of a somber kid.

While trolling around the local cemetery one day, Mike witnesses something rather strange. He spies a creepy looking older man, the Tall Man (Angus Scrimm in the role he would become famous for), hauling coffins around and single handedly at that. A little more investigation on Mike's part proves that the bodies are going missing – they're no longer buried where they were once put down for their eternal rest.

It isn't until Mike makes his way into the mausoleum that he starts to get really freaked out. Patrolling the long, marble halls of the building are some sleek silver spheres that fly through the air and lodge themselves into the foreheads of anyone who gets in their way. How they're all connected to the Tall Man isn't readily apparent but Mike, Jody and Reggie are in for it when they decide to try and figure it all out and stop the Tall Man from making more of his evil dwarf minions.

While the narrative of the film is all over the place, Phantasm works. Coscarelli made the movie without any studio backing and as such it was a pretty low budget production but he manages to create a whole lot of atmosphere with the film. Making excellent use of the mausoleum sets, the movie treads a fine line between straight horror and surrealism and when the wild visuals are paired with a strong lead performance from Baldwin, you end up with a really decent, tripped out movie. The score, by Fred Myrow, might sound like a knock off of Tubular Bells used so well in The Exorcist but it fits the tone of Phantasm perfectly.

Mike's a likeable enough character, it's easy to care for him and understand his trepidation about losing his brother after so recently having lost his parents. His behavior makes sense, as it demonstrates some human emotion but also keeps that curiosity that make teenagers do dumb things like breaking into mausoleums firmly in check. Bannister and Thornbury are fine as the older protagonists, occasionally breaking into song, but the real star of the show is Angus Scrimm as the Tall Man. Completely mysterious and completely evil, he's a creepy looking guy who manages to make some utterly sinister facial expressions that give his role a whole lot of 'yikes!'

Phantasm itself still holds up remarkably well – it's just as creepy as it was when it was made years ago and time hasn't hurt the film in the least (fashions not withstanding!). Highly recommended.
DVDtalk

To recap, Phantasm isn't the best film, but it's one of a kind, and I think worth the time. This DVD isn't a great improvement over the Anchor Bay UK release, but is an improvement over the R1 MGM release. The video quality is different, if not entirely 'better', and the DTS track is enough an improvement to call it such. Readers will have to judge for themselves.
