I told my dad that I was watching lots of horror films this month, and he suggested a movie to me. He remembered that he watched it in college, and it had a silver sphere that floated around and killed people. So I researched ‘70s horror films and found out what it was. Today’s film is Phantasm.
What, I don’t even know the deal about this movie. The plot is just everywhere. There is a mortician called the Tall Man, because you know, he’s a tall man. He takes corpses in his morgue and shrinks them into midget zombies to do his bidding as slaves in a parallel universe. The gateway to the parallel universe is in the funeral home.
The sphere, I think, is guarding the parallel universe gateway. It also prevents anyone from getting near the midget zombies. It shoots spikes at people and can kill them. It doesn’t appear as much as I thought, especially since this is the only thing my dad remembered about the movie.
The main villain is the Tall Man, rather than the sphere. He attacks the main character, his brother, and their best friend that happens to be an ice cream man. This also somehow works into the plot. There are not enough drugs in my house to fully appreciate/understand this movie. I am totally baffled. I will give this film a 3/10 for poor writing, but it was somewhat entertaining.
