“Nothing is ever as it seems”.
Why did it take me so long to get into the “Phantasm” films, as just in the last two months I got around to seeing the first two films and now the third entry. So far I’ve enjoyed every one. While I found the quality of this entry not match the previous two, still it’s an entertainingly non-stop ride in the quest to stop the Tall Man. It pretty much follows on from the previous edition, capping off that had just transpired. The road trip continues through small rural towns, where an almost apocalyptic feel is crafted. Nonetheless the adventurous tone is there, but it’s leaning more for comic humour and flat-out action (in a way similar to the second entry), over the tripped-out atmospheric spookiness.

It’s Reggie Banister’s show and there’s nothing wrong about that because he makes for a likable heroine that’s easy to root for. A. Michael Baldwin isn’t in it as much (which the chemistry between Mike and Reggie isn’t as prominent) and Bill Thornbury reprises his role in rather an innovative manner. Two new ragtag characters find there way in to help out Reggie; played by Gloria Lynne Henry and Kevin Connors. These two bring biting persona’s. Angus Scrimm in Tall Man mode is as menacing as ever – in appearance and the voice — “It’s time now BOY”.

Director / writer Don Coscarelli keeps the unique vision alive, where his handling seems more focused (especially the writing) and complete, but competently staged with enough flair and panache in numerous sequences. After the last film was produced by a film studio, this entry would go back the low-budget independent roots. The unconventional story isn’t as complicated, but this clip show is always on the move and is tension grabbing in its varied ideas. The lively special effects and make-up FX were effectively executed, where it becomes more and more a centre piece with the lethal flying spheres, dimension portals and the legion of dead serving under the Tall Man.

The horror added the comedy
I know there’s a section of fans of the ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ horror franchise who far preferred when its villain, Freddy, was pure evil and didn’t do all the ‘one-liners.’ I guess they’re into the ‘pure’ horror, rather than the genre semi-lampooning itself by adding a few bits of self-knowing parody. In ‘Phantasm’ I and II, it’s fair to say that they were both ‘pure’ horror (with only a very minor dose of tongue-in-cheek humour, possibly more in the second installment. However, ‘Part III’ really does amp up the black comedy, almost to ‘Evil Dead’ levels.

Personally, I actually enjoyed the ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ series when it was horror and horror comedy, just like I enjoy both types of ‘Phantasm’ film. ‘Part III’ continues the tale of the sinister ‘tall man’ and his minions who are stealing corpses from our world and taking them into their own dimension. Luckily, we have an overweight, balding ex ice cream vendor (played perfectly by Reggie Bannister) to save us – along with his new ‘team.’

If you like your heroes slightly bumbling and, er, ‘grabby (when it comes to women!) then Reggie is a delight to watch in this age of ‘clean cut’ leading men. Now he’s out to rescue the boy the tall man seems to be constantly after and he’s helped by a child and a ninja-like woman – who Reggie is constantly coming on to!

Yeah, there’s not much that’s horrific in ‘Part III,’ but there is a lot here that’s fun. The tall man is as menacing as ever, but this film is all about entertainment over scares. The ‘horror’ is played more for laughs and is completely over the top. The flying balls are back and because this film is now made in an age where computer effects were beginning to take off, the special effects are well done overall.

If you like ‘straight’ horror, just watch the first two films, but if you don’t mind the series start admitting that it’s getting kind of silly and generally running with it, then this one is certainly a fun little addition to the franchise.
