Viewing Notes

After 2 days out of town, I got back to Phantasm, which I started before I left. Haven’t seen this horror/sci-fi flick since the 80s so well overdue for a re-watch. Still enjoy it but easy to see how it’s ripe for a solid modern remake. I believe I’ve seen the first sequel but not the others but still think they could make a kick-ass remake of this.
