If there was a reason that DVD's should be made. The special edition of Phantasm has almost every one of them. With two menus of extras, interviews, deleted scenes, and commentary by the director and the stars(all totalng at least 1 1/2 hours of extras). This version of Phantasm should be purchased by anyone who enjoys the film. As for the movie, Phantasm is one wicked ride. It is quite possibly one of the most stylish and symbolic films ever made. Is it any good? It depends on your tastes. The movie does have its weaknesses: it is totally nonsensical, dumb and with marginal performances. On the plus side, we've already mentioned the style part, the special effects(for the most part) are still good, and it does have tons of atmosphere(this one almost puts you in the mortuary halls). Some people get the uncomfortable feeling that it feels like death, it does. So I would only recomended for die hard genere fans.
