Review of Phantoms (1998) by Decipher393 — 07 Feb 2016

Phantoms is one of my favourite horror movies. The cast give fun performances and the movie has intense,.

Complex special effects. The movie was produced by Wes Craven's Dimension Films company. Phantoms is one of the wittiest and inventive horror movies of the 90's.
