The kid in "Phantasm" had a gun tucked in his pants, why didn't he pull it out and shoot him at the door....or in the car ?

Phantasm is a classic horror movie that was VERY original for the time. It was also done on a VERY low budget and it plays like a teenagers nightmare . The effects are creepy , fun and unique. Angus Scrimm as The Tall Man is excellent and is solidified in horror history like Freddy, Jason and Michael Meyers. The whole movie feels like a dream. If you watch Gene and Roger here - they are giggling at it - but with glee. Then they go on to talk about the scenes they enjoyed . OK, and oh- that ending !!

Last Embrace was just so-so as a thriller (Jonathan Demme needed a bit more seasoning) but I thought Janet Margolin was wonderful. She created a very unique femme fatale, one that relied on shyness and an appealing awkwardness to entice her prey. She alone made the film worth seeing.

Sneak Previews was probably the name that they should have stuck with.

It’s lots of fun watching these old Siskel & Ebert shows. I think I saw VOICES, but don’t remember much about it. I love PHANTASM, but I get why people don’t. It’s a very strange movie. I own a copy of THE LAST EMBRACE on Blu-ray and it’s just okay. Not bad, but not great. Don’t think I ever saw BOULEVARD NIGHTS.

Last Embrace started well but it ended up going nowhere. Very disappointing.

phantasm was meant to be watched high , at a midnight showing

I haven’t seen any of these movies.

I took my first date to Phantasm. I thought it would be fun scary and my date might take my hand. Instead it was gory but still managed to be boring. It wasn't easy getting her to go on a second date.

There’s this new show called fantasma that’s on hbo and it’s actually fire.
