Phantasm II (1988)
6.5/10
My first time seeing it. It was fun. Got to see it with a buddy who's familiar with the original. I laughed lots of times. Had some fun scenes with practical effects and melee fighting.
We were surprised it was made as late as 1988. I think I got the TV ads for the original mixed up with the sequel.
Compared to the original, it's much slower at the beginning and a much weaker narrative. Very disappointing that it didn't add anything to the lore of the original. We don't get to know the characters, as characterization is almost non-existent, and they aren't particularly strong exuding characters and actors. So it's really just a string of fairly fun scenes.
