Review of Phantasm (1979) by Sean C — 20 Jun 2009

I remember when I was a kid, I had heard critics who knew nothing about horror movies slamming this movie and saying that it was awful and just full of gore. This made me want to see the movie, of course.

I really like the story. It's also notable that Don Coscarelli has directed all of the sequels as well. Most of the franchises for other horror films had the original and then all the following movies directed by various other people, but Coscarelli has kept a handle on all of them.
