Well Go USA and Bad Robot take viewers back to the Tall Man's mausoleum with a gorgeous 4K restoration in the official trailer for Phantasm: Remastered.
The Tall Man and his flesh-slicing spheres returns to theaters this fall when Bad Robot and Don Coscarelli’s 4K restoration of 1979's Phantasm hits select cinemas on September 24th, aka Art House Theater Day.
Following its respective showings on Art House Day and at this September's Fantastic Fest, Phantasm: Remastered will be released On Demand and on Digital HD this October 4th, followed by a theatrical release on October 7th from Well Go USA Entertainment. The film is also expected to come out on Blu-ray and DVD later this year.
"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."
