Reggie loses his friend Mike to The Tall Man and goes in pursuit of both accumulating on the way a lady martial artist and a boy. A lot of things happen in the film and am not sure what some of them meant but I was entertained most of the way, though towards the the ending it got a bit silly, and enjoyed some scarily effective scenes as it went along. Angus Scrimm as always in this series was creepiness personifed and Reggie Bannister was also fine as the stalwart Reggie. The other character I really liked was capable young Tim played by Kevin Connors. It's a shame he never continued in the series. Enhancing the film was an exciting music score by Fred Myrow and Christopher L. Stone and the distressed locations and sets, hinting at a world in serious decline. The comic parts were not too big a distraction. Another good movie in the Phantasm phranchise.
