Pnantasm ~1979~ Classic or Crap?
 This film seems to carry with it a great deal of baggage, and is one of those love it or hate it films. Its detractors claim its juvenile, meandering, poorly acted and incoherent. It's fans (me included) think its iconic, groundbreaking and surrealistic....and scary!  Your thoughts?

I thought the film was very ground breaking, its a awesome movie, before Phantasm most films were about madmen running about with knifes.:cool:

I watched them all back to back, for the first time maybe about a year and a half ago...
I thought 1&2 were good, 3 was ok, 4...well I sat through it but didn't really enjoy it all that much. I really liked some of the interesting concepts going on, I liked the atmosphere, the weirdness, and the kind of mind-fucky elements to it. Great sountrack too.

The atmosphere Coscarelli generates in the first Phantasm is amazing. Everything about that movie works so well to create a perfect dream like atmosphere. The cast works perfectly and gel really well and the actual style and story that drives the franchise is real quality.

My thoughts on Phantasm are nothing but good. This is my fave series out of the main genre of horror.
I don't normally go to Horror- cons, but I did go for the Phantasm cast in Burbank in 2007. Wonderful cast, Reggie kept referring to me as sexy,:D and Bill Thornbury and I held up the line because we were talking for a quite a long time, of which angered a few people, which is typical of people. The Tall Man and Michael weren't there, sadly. I had a wonderful conversation with Michael Baldwin sometime ago in 2003. I was on Richard Gabia's email list, (they are friends), and so nautrally I thought I'd say hey to Mike as he was my first crush when I went to go see the movie in 1980. I sent him a pic of myself via email and he was so sweet the things he said. he said I had an awesome curvy figure and a sexy cute smile.:p then he sent me a personal movie photo still of himself from the Obvilion 4 film.:D autographed and all. anyways, as I tend to get carried away on memories, here's an awesome and rare record of the theme song. I need this for my next party!

While I am not a big favorite of "Phantasm" (especially not of the second, that one was just plain crap, sorry to say, but it was), I value its effort to be quite creepy. Ironically, however, the only part that truly freaks me out is the fly scene. What is up with that? I mean, come on.

Definitely a classic in my eyes. Scared the shit out of me as a kid and in watching later on as an adult realized that it had incredibly creepy atmosphere which is something i hold in high reguard in the horror genre. Straker also made a good statement in saying it has a dreamlike atmosphere as well.

Genuine classic, The Tall Man is an underrated icon of horror.
As a few have already said. the dream like atmosphere was fairly unique at he time and, I think, opened up the genre more.
