Phantasm 5 Movie DVD Collection

I remember watching the first two Phantasm movies on VHS way back in the day, so imagine my surprise, and delight, when I discovered that I could purchase them on blu ray discs with some others that I didn't even know existed. I've only watched the first two blu rays in the set so far, but I do intend on watching the other ones as soon as I get the chance. I've heard that they aren't as good as the first two, but I'll be the judge of that.

If course I love this movie.. it is interesting and it's a classic. I watched this and a kid and it mesmerized me. If you love sci Fi, scary, and interesting movies with several sequels buy it!! I recommended it. There is no other movie out there like this one..

Product came perfect. I had no problem giving it as a Christmas present.

Great movie worth the price.

this is a nice budget DVD set for those who don't have the films, or only have the older DVDs. They all looks great and have a decent number of extras (mostly commentaries, and a making of for the second one), and they all look great. I'd recommend purchasing this even if you only like 2 of them because of the price. Although if you have the anchor bay DVDs, keep your copies of 1 and 3. Or the anchor bay UK box set if you have that. If you have one of the blu ray box sets, you probably won't get anything new out of this set.As for the films, I love all of them, even if, objectively the first two are the only really good ones. Here's a brief review of each one:Phantasm: A creepy, dreamlike film that doesn't have many answers. It's slow paced, but it's never boring. The budget is low, but they make up for it with their creativity. The main character Mike is really likeable, and so is his brother Jody, and friend Reggie. The plot is about these 3 characters having to fight off The Tall Man, who is an unstoppable monster (his origins are never really revealed), from killing their other friends and family. The Tall Man and his abilities give these films a fantasy element that works with the horror. The plot is not the strongest aspect, the characters, and atmosphere are what make this film. The commentary on it is pretty fun too, even if it's roughly 20 years old and from a laserdisc.Phantasm 2: Not anywhere near as creepy and already the dreamlike feel is deminished. Also the kid who played the main character is replaced by someone who isn't as good (originally Michael Baldwin, James LeGros in this one). Despite these flaws, this is an awesome sequel, it replaces a lot of the horror with humor and action, although it does have creepy moments, especially with The Tall Man. Once again the characters are great, so you don't mind the added humor, if anything it makes the characters more likeable. This one has the most coherent plot of the bunch (whihc isn't saying much), and is a nice complement to the original inspite its thematic and tonal differences. The extras are great on this disc, though if you have the shout factory disc, you already this disc, (they didn't even replace the shout factory logo).Phantasm 3: The first one to go straight-to-video, although you wouldn't be able to tell because the production value is quite impressive. This one is fun, but not particularly good. From this entry onward, Reggie becomes the character we spend more time with, and he's a lot of fun. The problem is that the story is about Mike (luckily the original actor returns for this and the remaining entries) and he's barely in it. In fact The Tall Man is barely in it. This one feels like a lesser version of Phantasm 2. However it does pick up a lot of steam around the 45 minute mark when Mike finally returns to the film, although he is way too victimized. This is a fun movie, and if you loved the first two, you'll enjoy this, but it's not particularly great. The extras: the older anchor bay DVDs had a decent commentary that was fun and informative. This one has a different but equally interesting commentary that is more informative than the old one.Phantasm 4: Most people hate this one, I don't mind it but I can understand why other people hate it. I still like the characters, and there's a new interesting idea between Mike and The Tall Man (I won't spoil it). But most of the film is Mike wandering around the desert, Reggie driving around aimlessly, The Tall Man saying things that aren't as creepy as what he usually says, and deleted footage from the first one used as flashbacks. This one was made for the purpose of making money for an epic fifth film, that for years never got made, then essentially became Ravager. It's always clear that this was made as a filler movie and for years it was the last one. This one returns to the tone of the first film, but it's nowhere near as creepy as even the second one. I don't mind sitting through this one, but it is my least favorite. The extras: There's a commentary that makes the film more entertaining than if you watch it with the actual audio of the film.Phantasm 5: Phans are divided on this one, but one thing we can all agree on is that it looks really cheap, at times it looks like a fan film that got the actors from the previous movies involved. Some hate it, whcih I can understand, but Some, including myself, really enjoy it. Don't expect a particularly conclusive ending, although it does provide a certain degree of closure. This one has elements of the horror tone of the first one, and the humor of the second. Like the previous two, it's too Reggie centric, but Mike has a better role in this than in 3 and 4. The film looks really cheap, but the other thing everyone seems to agree on is that it is very well-intentioned, and it's heart is in the right place. This was not made as a cash grab. For that reason, it's hard to dislike this. Seeing these characters one last time was nice, even if the film isn't that great, and looks really cheap. There aren't many answers, this is just one last adventure we're seeing. It is more conclusive than Phantasm 4. This one also has a nice and informative commentary, and a blooper reel.There are talks of doing a 6th one, which unfortunately would have to be without Angus Scrimm as the Tall Man, (he sadly died before 5 was released), but if they do, Doug Bradley or Tony Todd could be good replacements.For people who haven't seen any of them, I highly recommend the first two, and I'd say the rest are optional, but I enjoy all 5 of them.Films ranked:1. Phantasm2. Phantasm 23. Phantasm 54. Phantasm 35. Phantasm 4

It's hard to know what to say about the Phantasm movies. To a certain extent, they're a product of their time and newer/younger horror fans might not get the same pleasure from revisiting the franchise as those of us who grew up with them. On the other hand, there's also an argument to be made that they're timeless classics and should be in everyone's media library. Probably both of these things are simultaneously true.To be sure, the Phantasm movies are not the best films, objectively speaking. Produced on miniscule budgets, they nevertheless capture, I think, the real essence of 1980s horror (though, true, the first film actually came out in 1979 and the last was released in 2016). There's just something magical about returning to these films late at night and spending some time with these characters again.That's where this set comes in. If you need to get the complete franchise all in one place, this package will serve you well. It includes all five movies, each appearing on a separate disc. All five discs are stacked on a single spindle, which is a bit annoying but nothing to really complain about. And if you're a fan of bonus features, all five films include a good selection.You really can't go wrong with this set. It's perfect for Phantasm fans as well as those of you who still need to acquaint yourselves with the series.

Me encanto el producto, me hubiera gustado que al menos tuviera subtitulos en español.pero de ahi en mas esta perfecto ya que por este excelente precio se puede obtener en bluray todala saga completa.

Primeiro filme muito confuso, retalhado, actor principal medíocre, segundo filme o novo actor coloca credibilidade e o filme acaba por ser bom, com bons efeitos especiais e uma historia perceptível, sendo este o melhor filme da série. O terceiro, quarto e quinto filmes voltam a colocar o mesmo actor medíocre, histórias confusas e com repetição de cenas dos filmes anteriores, pelo que recomendo apenas o segundo filme, mas o preço deste pack compensa
