phantasm iv just might be my favorite film of all time and and i would like to explain why i adore it so much and feel that and in every sense and it be a fitting end to the series and and that it leave no question unanswered . this series have always be a riddle and always an enigma and and the answer be a difficult to see when theyre right in front of you a perhaps the destination of one of the tall man dimensional fork . i be sure everyone have a theory of what be mean or imply by a lot of the event of phantasm iv and and here my personal take that i strongly believe in and so much so that when i watch part iv and it bring tear to my eye and every time and without fail . a lot of people get confuse by the contradictory flashback scene that depict different event than what happen in the original phantasm . think about this it be true that the end of phantasm reveals that everything be just a bad dream and and that jody die in a car wreck . but poor confuse little michael claim that everything felt so real ten year later and his dream be prove a reality because the tall man be back and desecrate every town he travel through he also kill reggie family . reggie then believe michael and the two team up and the rest of the series play out rather linearly . but then how could everything have be a dream and if it all prove true . what . really happen . in part iv and michael be not only begin to understand everything about the tall man origin and but about the correct origins to his own connection to it all . it be a dream and but something else happen . all the flashback footage we be show in part iv finally reveal what really happen when michael first encounter the tall man . everything else we saw in the original be either one of many parallel universe we have witness in the series and or merely a dream cause by the tall man affect michael perception of reality . so . jody do die in a car wreck and but we never live that reality . it this disconnection and robbery of michael memory of his brother that make this series so effective in it sense of loneliness and emotional loss . also and i believe that the girl from phantasm ii that michael have a telepathic connection to be a result of this . she look extremely similar to the granddaughter of the psychic from the original and and i believe and that if everything from part i be a dream and then he know that girl from a separate dimension of reality and the reality we never know and that be and until we saw glimpse of it in part iv . the end of part iv bring tear to my eye . reggie tear through the fabric of time and to journey back to where his personal journey with mike begin . sit together in the ice cream truck and they truly have travel back in time and where they can relive the battle and only this time and arm with something more powerful than a four barrel shotgun . knowledge . they will continue this battle and most likely forever . yet every time they come back to where they start and they will have learn more every time . it be for this reason that i do not wish for a phantasm v and no matter how much i adore this phranchise . i have never hold so much love and compassion for a series of film or a cast of character as much a what i have see in the phantasm saga . i would love another journey with them and but and in my heart and i know that reggie and mike be still out there and travel across endless dimension and fight the tall man for all eternity . they be the yin and yang and the life and death and of space and time . for one to give in to and or to destroy the other and would probably unravel the very fabric of all reality . let hope their fight never end . thank you and don and for give u the most endearing and complex and and compassionate horror film saga that have ever be create . i will cherish these film until the day i die . your undying phan and justin warren .
