The Tall Man, that imposing menace from Morningside Mortuary, is back and once again haunting the thoughts of the now-adult Mike and his friend, ex-Ice Cream vendor Reggie. The two continue their hunt for the mysterious figure and in his path of destruction encounter a variety of dangerous situations, friends and enemies. They also must contend with the resurrected dead plus a growing number of the infamous and deadly silver spheres which aid the Tall Man as he sets his sights on indoctrinating Mike and finishing the fight begun so many years ago...

A clear departure from horror to fantasy with comedy elements. The addition of two new characters in charge of the comedy reliefs brings a significant loss of atmosphere, which you can still see here and there, but it’s not even nearly as powerful as in the second episode. I wasn’t too happy with this departure from the first two episodes, but that doesn’t mean that the third Phantasm left me with a particularly negative impression. It’s still a slightly above par spectacle saved in great part by the climax and the traditionally excellent Angus Scrimm.

Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead is an American production that goes hand in hand with the previous movies. However, I felt that Don Coscarelli has eased off the gas a bit, and it is not as interesting anymore, especially in terms of the special effects. However, there are still some great scenes with real balls, although there just are not enough scenes with practical effects. In addition, the narrative is a bit bloated in a bad way.
