Phantasm: Remastered
Directed by Don Coscarelli
Don Coscarelli’s beloved 1979 sci-fi horror classic returns in a beautiful new restoration (headed by J.J. Abrams and Bad Robot). When Mike’s parents die, his world is turned upside down. But nothing can prepare him for the shocking discovery that a mortician (the late, great Angus Scrimm) and his dwarf army have stolen Mike’s parents’ bodies. Did we mention the flying spheres? Though the surreal scare-fest unfolds like a child’s bad dream, the terror it evokes is far more real and intense than most fright flicks. PHANTASM’s success led to four sequels and a permanent place in the horror hall of fame.

The film certainly had more luster when I was 11 years old in the late 70s. In spite of wooden acting and craptastic special effects, it was still acceptable for an old movie. Some consider it a classic.
The first is kinda boring. It’s alright. Second is better but it’s not on here. Haven’t seen the others yet.
Amazing premise. Caught me of guard a number of times. Now onto the next one
the first one is the best imo
too long for no reason
