Member Rating:  
The concluding installment of the popular horror series brings back the principal heroes Reggie, Mike, and Jody (Reggie Bannister, Michael Baldwin, and Bill Thornbury) for their final battle against the evil Tall Man (Angus Scrimm). Mike is trying to escape the Tall Man's designs on turning him into a servant of the interdimensional body thieves, while Reggie is trying not to get involved, despite Jody's pleas for help. When a demonic cop with a skinned man in his trunk pulls Reggie over along a dark highway, and spits Reggie's mouth full of yellow slime when shot, it becomes clear that he will have to play too. After crashing his hearse in Death Valley, Mike dreams about the days of the Civil War, where he meets Jebediah Morningside (Scrimm), the Tall Man's pleasant former self. By the time he returns to the earthly plane, the dimensional forks introduced in previous installments have multiplied into over a dozen. While Reggie is occupied by a pretty undead blonde who ends up having two of the Tall Man's silver Death Balls for breasts, Jody turns out to not be quite dead either, being able to change his own body into the Death Balls at will. As the forks continue to multiply, Mike constructs his own Death Ball and skips through various dimensions with Jody looking for the Tall Man. Eventually, the brothers slip into the past to the night when Morningside turned evil in an attempt to stop the horror before it could begin. Needless to say, everything comes back to the cemetery for the chilling final battle, but it doesn't stay there for long. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

    For anyone who loves the Phantasm series not to give this a 5-star rating should be looked on in dismay. Don pulls off this fourth and "possibly" final chapter of the series with cereberal flash backs to the original film, inlcuding scenes not shown in the Original Phantasm. It will have you wandering down memory lane and realizing, "Gosh, I just aged 25 years since the original was released." Bravo Don and Cast.... A great film with a different type of ending... One that will make you wonder where the first movie really ended!

    Movie was ok but hard to follow. How did Reggie and Mike become separated and where did the blonde come from no lead in. I found the first 2 movie better then this one. I couldn't understand why the tall man became evil?
