Movie Reviews of Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead
Movie Review: Clint Howard's stunt double is back for another dose of Tall Man
Summary: 5 Stars
In addition to 1994 being the year Sid the Elf began, it also brought the world a third installment of the super b Phantasm series. This is something that couldn't be more appreciated due to the fact it falls into Sid's favorite time period of 90's horror. Any film that can take us back to that great time in life is always welcomed, especially if it's starring the Tall Man. Who mind you has been climbing his way up the list of unstoppable horror icons sitting very close to Myers himself. You just can't help but love this series. The plot is so bizarre and really cater to a certain audience in which we sit front row. C'mon, Joe Bob did this one back on Monstervision during the 90's so what's not to love?
This time we start with a nice flashback breaking down the first two films finer moments. So once up to speed we are brought to current day Mike and Reggie who happen to be a hilarious looking duo. The now adult Mike looks like the adult version of Troy Mcgregor and Reggie still looks like Clint Howard just nearly bald except for a thriving ponytail. Both are still on their mission to bring down the Tall Man, whose still well equipped with an army of zombie elves and skull drilling orbs. Along the way they befriend a young boy (who couldn't be more then 12 and takes down a clan of the most hilarious 90's looking thugs)and a super tough black chick who join the fight. Besides watching Reggie try to get some brown sugar and fail numerous times the rest of the film is the usual fantastic Tall Man action. This one keeps the series alive and leaves you ready for a fourth session.
After watching Phantasm III Sid realized something very interesting. See we make all these jokes about Reggie being a mirror image of Clint Howard, but then realized that his job before hunting the Tall Man was being an ice cream man. Clint Howard was also an ice cream man, only more deranged, so you can't tell us we're not on to something here. Besides that revelation the movie was a fantastic 90's horror that will remain a new favorite of the list. It's really more of the same old stuff but that's all that it should be. They created such an awesomely B concept that keeps working so there is no need to switch it up. It has everything; Tall Man, killer orbs, zombie elves, Clint Howard stunt double, terrible special effects, explosions, and laughable acting. It's everything we look for. We really enjoyed this one and should have back in the glory days when it was a new release.

If You Don?t Get It This Time, He?ll Have To Drill It Into Your Head! The mutant dwarf creatures are attacking, the silver spheres are flying, and The Tall Man is back with a vengeance! Fifteen years after the original horror classic, writer/producer/director Don Coscarelli reunites brothers Mike (A. Michael Baldwin) and Jody (Bill Thornbury) to help their friend Reggie (Reggie Bannister) destroy The Tall Man (Angus Scrimm) once and for all. Is the ultimate force of evil any match for a bald, former ice cream vendor with a ?70 Hemicuda and a four-barrel shotgun? Cindy Ambuehl (JAG) co-stars in this insane sequel packed with sex, violence and gore galore that takes the PHANTASM series to a whole new dimension!
