That's all John Holmes' fault! The producers didn't want it confused with Fantasm.

how does one confuse a spiked metal sphere hitting you in the forhead with a big fleshy dick hitting you in the mouth ? :)

He makes a good argument. I believe that was from Harold Bloom's book of Phantasm criticism.

I could never get into the Phantasm movies, and I like weird movies. I don't understand the appeal.

Drills going into heads, a totally killer villain, great naturally acted well written characters that are really likable, an original story that was well executed for its small budget (a true testament of the greatness that can be done with DIY independent horror films), I could go on and on....

I can see why people don't enjoy it (its quite confusing in parts but like Urge (I think it was him?) mentioned its a case of style over substance.

Phantasm II was the first film of the series I saw and it totally blew me away... perhaps that's a better one for people to start with.
