Great film, full of action and horror that join together for a terrifying sci-fi Masterpiece. Although filmed on a low budget (and you can tell!), Phantasm set new ground for horror movies. A very strange and twisted vision from the mind of its creator, this movie was made for people who enjoy the fantasy of horror stories, not just hacking and slashing. Phantasm introduced characters that would live on through three more sequels (2 was good as well), but never live up to the weirdness of the first one. The Tall Man is a truly remarkable villain, as well as his flying silver spheres that drill into your head and excrete blood and brain matter. Not bad for a 70's movie, in fact, pretty damn good!
