My Review

On to number 2 now it is let’s see how it goes with next movie in Phantasm series.

Movie starts off with a woman think her name is Reggie talking about Mike and it show highlights on how first movie ended with Mike being grab and showing what happen after then we see Mike he a teen now but he in a psychotic house for a bit not long as he meets up with the guy at end he think he crazy as Mike what to end with killing the tall man for good who is back now.

First 15 mins feel like they are getting ready to fight the final battle with getting weapons and load them up I would too tall man is tough so you need everything you can against this evil guy scary part is girl they see had a demon on her back very scary that was that for sure can Reggie and Mike end so they travel on road to see what they can find to fight the tall man.

I wonder if he meet that girl at start of movie I am sure she meet them soon she looking for him sure she find them again soon. Mike is also looking for her.

Anyway she gets what might be her first look at tall man so far there been a few scary moments dead bodies pop up and just Mike and Reggie on road and they pick up a girl who is dead in Mike dreams and Mike try to talk Reggie about but he said we got to protect her so they agree to keep a eye on but be careful this might be tall man playing mind games with them in the first he did woman some as well so be careful I said they pretty much left her alone to sleep anyway not sure if see again or tall man will get later.

So far a little slow build on 2nd as first one was little better but still be a few scary stuff and then but so far been ok. Then they showed the return of them and boy they killed the priest that for sure and lady who was looking for grandmama and now dear old grandmama is one of tall man slaves then She meets up with Mike who I guess is her boyfriend.

And Reggie is hook up with that woman they pick up on road who ever thought not me isn’t a little too young for him guess not. Tall man just like who can be anywhere grabs mikes girlfriend Mike should of keep her a eye on her now they have to go after her while trying to take him on the road they crash and almost get killed lucky both make it out. So they go to the place and get a big bottle of acid probably to blow up place or use against tall man just maybe acid will harm him.

Reggie is bad ass when he has a chainsaw there so far crew is doing a good job survive tall man traps and boy are deadly a ball went inside a man and torn him in side ouch then it goes back to chainsaw battle Reggie vs tall man puppets he just get out there lucky bye saw the guy with low blow ouch I think they pretty much got though all of tall man traps now the main fight starts unless he has even more traps for them then they find what look to be same room as first one then they battle tall man try use weapon did not work and then they put acid in him and that fine the trick for now and then woman they pick up turn out to be one of them or I said told you so as movie with them saying it was a dream and then he back saying no it not little cliffhanger to number 3.

Well have to say a ok number 2 of series not best but good battle at end sucks about Reggie though pretty much the ending was same as first movie though first one was indeed better 3 acting was ok will say this one was indeed gory some as well them chain balls was nasty as well so on to the 3nd movie which will be up in the next hour see you then.

Phantasm II (1988) rating 6/10
