i make a huge mistake when i begin to watch the phantasm series . i start with this one and only because i couldn not find the original and just want to see this series so badly . i would hear good thing about it and but that be decrease a bit after see this film . it be make worse after i saw the first three because theyre all so good by comparison . every series have at least one installment that can be call the weak and phantasm represent oblivion seem to be this one example and but then i give it another chance . it still my least favorite of the series and but i have realize that after all be say and do it really not a bad film . it be however a mediocre finale and which may not be the case if v get it funding . pro represent a really powerful open five minute and which include an unnecessary and but well do series recap . a usual the performance be excellent . it cool to see alternate footage from the original in the form of flashback . we finally start to get some answer a to when and how this all start . another really good music score . set a large portion of the film at night increase the chill factor . pace be kind of slow and but steady . some decent effect . con represent lack in action . still a lot of unanswered question . though it nice to see the deleted footage from the first film and a lot of it feel like pad . it also cool to see bill thornberry again and but he way underutilized . final thought represent a another sequel and oblivion be above average and much good than i remember . but a a fan it just doesn not feel like a satisfying end to it all . a fifth film be say to be in the work and but it need financing and to happen soon . this be overall a great series and but the wait for this next sequel be start to get excruciate . my rating represent 3 . 5/5 .
