Looking forward to watching the latest entry in the Phantasm franchise, but need a riveting refresher on the first four films? If so, then you'll want to check out The Silver Sphere Institute of Science's educational short film that highlights the history of The Tall Man and the boy (and his friends) who dared to oppose him.
Phantasm: Ravager was released On Demand and on Digital HD on October 4th, and will be followed by a theatrical release on October 7th from Well Go USA Entertainment.
Following its respective showings on Art House Day and at this September's Fantastic Fest, Phantasm: Remastered was also released On Demand and on Digital HD on October 4th, and will be followed by a theatrical release on October 7th from Well Go USA Entertainment. The film is expected to come out on Blu-ray and DVD later this year.
Phantasm: Ravager synopsis: "For 37 years, audiences have followed small town friends Reggie, Mike, and Jody in their quest to stop the evil, dimension-hopping schemes of The Tall Man (Angus Scrimm in his final performance) and his armada of killer Sentinel Spheres. Now, Don Coscarelli’s acclaimed horror/sci-fi Phantasm franchise comes to a close in a truly epic finale, a multi-dimensional battle across multiple timelines, alien planets, and altered realities, where no less than the fate of Earth is on the line."
Phantasm: Remastered synopsis: "Since its release in 1979, director Don Coscarelli’s epic tale of The Tall Man, his deadly silver Sentinel Spheres, and group the small town friends who must band together to stop his dimension-hopping schemes has captivated and terrified horror and sci-fi fans around the world. An immediate success, bringing in 40 times its production budget, the film has influenced generations of filmmakers. Thirty-seven years later, PHANTASM has been finally restored to its original glory by J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot and Coscarelli, with a stunning new 4K remaster and 5.1 surround sound mix from the original elements that ensures Phantasm will be around to scare the hell out of generations to come."
