Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead

I thought the relationship between Tim and Reggy was interesting because in their relationship I saw a lot of the old relationship between Reggy and Mike from before the Tall Man came to town.

My impression-Although I didn't like this one as much as I did one and two there is just something about these cheesy horror movies that I love like nothing else in the world. This a worthy addition to the Phantasm world. I only wish they would hurry and come out with Phantasm 5 before too much longer.


A fine addition   May 15, 2003
First of let me start with the fact that the Grace Jones wanna be should've been the one sliced and diced in the mausoleum instead of her buddy. Her acting was substandard by even low budget standards... With that said let me move on to the rest of the film. I love this movie....not as much as 1 or 4....but beats the snot out of 2. It brought back my favorite actors from 1....plus the sureal element of horror from the mind of a child. When the directors cut of Phan 2 is released (I hate Phan 2 because the studio took it out of Coscarelli's hands and mutilated it...but gave it four stars out of loyalty to Reggie,Angus and Don) the quartet will have much better continuity. Some people complain about the camp in 3 that wasn't aorund in the original....but we need to understand with Army of Darkness helping Evil Dead break into mainstream & the failure of Phan 2 in theaters, it was all Coscarelli could do to save the Phantasm legacy. Now that he is back on track with Oblivion we're in for one heck of a thrill ride. Bruce Campbell worked with Coscarelli on Bubba Hotep...and is rumored to be signed on for the 5th Phantasm film. I can't wait. Later my Phan brothers..........and for you Johnny come latelys who think Phan 2 is the best of the series........thank god you don't make movies.

I love the phantasm film series this is no exception The Tall Man is back and as returned to kill Liz and Reggie and to capture Mike (Reg lives!!!) and the fourbarelled shotgun returns somehow from Phantasm 2,but remember "We must never trust what we see" A.Michale Baldwin reprises his role as Mike and is soon captured by The Tall Man Bill Thornbury Returns as Jody who can transform into sphere and helps Reg find Mike. Reg's partners up with a young boy named Tim who is a homelone type assin and a former army chick named Rockey,who can kick some serious zombie [rear], are planning to save Mike and stop The Tall Man. laugh and scream in this action packed third installment to Phantasm


nobody even mentioned rocky in thier reviews except 2 people   April 20, 2002
rocky is a GREAT instalation to the series.and a helluva better replacement for liz.everybody knows OblIVion is the real weak one of the series.why people on amazon consider this to be the weakest one is beyound me.but generaly this is the most popular one along with part 2.it would have been better if they kept the better looking black female too (no offence rocky) instead of killing her so quickly when they introduced us to her and rocky.2 kick azz black female warriors would be tight sense us black people usualy get bad charectors in horror movies.
