Phantasm

Time for a movie review.

Well its Halloween time so that means it is time for some Horror movies.

I love the horror genre and there are a lot of "classic" horror movies that i have never seen. Phantasm is one of them.

This movie was very good. The majority of this flick takes place in a funeral home that is run but "the Tall man". He is also has an alter ego that is "the lady in Lavender". it seems to me that Don Coscorelli (the director and writer) wasn't very creative in naming his characters.

The Lady in lavender entices people to the cemetery for some good old fashioned grave fucking. Being that this is made in 1979 there is some boob shots that really don't need to be there but what the hell i am not complaining. There is even one scene the the lady in lavender is about to fuck this one guy and then he takes her top off. The camera is just a wide screen shot of just her boobs and it stays there for a couple of seconds with nothing else happens. God isn't gratuitous nudity great.

Anyway we come to learn that the Tall man is an alien type character that is taking the dead and shrinking them to midget size so that they can be slaves on his home planet. No i cannot make this shit up.

Anyway i thought the movie was actually well made for a low budget 70's horror flick and can see why it has such a cult following. (There is actually a guy at my work that spent $200 on a replica Sphere that has the spikes in it).

My wife on the other had looked over at me in the end and said "Why do you waste my time with this shit." Oh well guess different strokes, right Arnold.

Talk to y'all later.
