Review of Phantoms (1998) by Atrium89 — 24 May 2021

A creepy horror tale.

I just finished watching this film and was very surprised that I hadn't heard of it before. Phantoms is very well done. It is creepy and suspenseful with out being cliché like most horror movies are these days. The special effects are good and used sparingly and there isn't over the top gore. Though there are gory parts which add to the very tense atmosphere. The acting is pretty good though not exceptional. I was easily able to believe in the characters except for Ben Affleck but that may be a personal problem. The acting in the beginning however was very forced which made me slightly skeptical about the movie. Don't worry, hang in there for the first 5 minuets as the creepiness starts right away. I really liked this movie and strongly recommend it.
