i loathe this film . the original phantasm have such wonderful ambiance and mystery . like many 70 horror flick and it look and felt like some creepy and unfinished documentary . phantasm ii and from the late 80 and pump up the action and but maintain this nice attention to mood . sadly and phantasm iii be just awful . it tediously explain all of the weird happening in the previous film and which diminish rather than expand their power . it shamelessly degrade imagery from the first phantasm like a cheap reenactment of the original . there be so many fly sphere in this movie that they seem more like household pest than menace death orb . hundred hang from the ceiling like christmas ball sway in the draft . didn not anyone the prop master and the dp and the editor and the director notice or care that they look so crummy . even bad and phantasm iii present one corny and unfunny joke after another . how different from the intensity of the first film . the original phantasm use humor to relieve it relentless focus on death . phantasm iii use death to set up countless cheap joke about reggie horniness represent several refer to the film fly ball ha ha and oh and i get it and ball . maybe the crew get a kick out of these joke and but they be on u .
