The evil alien known as the Tall Man (Angus Scrimm) has infiltrated the minds of Mike (A. Michael Baldwin) and Reggie (Reggie Bannister). The two friends embark on a journey to find and kill him, only to discover that he has destroyed town after town, leaving zombies in place of the living. Along the way, Mike and Reggie meet several characters who share their goal, including a murderous boy named Tim (Kevin Connors) and two young women who are excellent fighters.

2.5/4

Don Coscarelli outdoes the humor of John Hughes in what feels like a more honest version of the gleeful sadism in Home Alone.

Falls back on mystery-sapping exposition.

5/10

Has none of the surrealistic excess that made the first movie such a genuine delight, and managed to save the second one from itself.

It's all fairly absurd, but Coscarelli retains his enthusiasm and imagination with a healthy sense of ridiculousness.

2.5/5

Sure, there's still the '71 Hemi 'Cuda and the four-barrel shotgun, but it's not enough to get past nunchucks and biker zombies.

3/5

The first film is like an actual nightmare, whereas the sequels feel more like someone's garish descriptions of a nightmare.

4/5 Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead is a solid sequel with some greta gore, and practical effects. Plus it has one of the best performances form a child actor ever and a great ending. The narrative isn't great, and there is a creepy scene between two of the leaves, but it's still a really good horror sequel.

A lot more dark humour as Reggie turns into an action hero.

Shows some background on creatures, Reggie recruits little boy and black woman. Brother is a sphere and looks like boy turns into one as well

This movie is par for the course. It is just as bad as the others, but like the others, it managed to captivate me into watching it all the way till the end. It has a few decent horror gags, and I appreciate them trying to add a bit of lore to it, but overall, I found it to be mediocre.

They're really starting to get gonzo at this point. Again, it further develops the mythology and explains a few things, but then they lose points by bringing back the old Mike, who just kind of sucks. Reggie is still hilarious and gets some awesome moments. And the home alone stuff was kind of amusing, if for no other reason than the absurdity of it.

My goodness these films aren't getting any better. I recently watched all the films in this series. I feel that they haven't settled on who they want to be the hero or coherent story line. However Angus Scrimm stands out as one of the best bad guys.
