I not really sure how I feel about this movie, it got to the weirdest one of them all,
I did not really like this movie that much, it's took me while to get into the movie, like the first movie.
I there bit more action then the last movie, how ever still not as good as the second movie in the series.
I did not find this movie scary or creepy at all, even felt like bloody effects were lower then before even thought yellow think seen less in this movie.

I gotta be honest, I have grown to love Phantasm IV and these days, happily consider it in the same league as Phantasm II. I'm a big fan of the franchise anyway so I can forgive it a few short commings, but I actually think that its closer in tone to the first movie than the other sequels. Coscarelli is great working on a tight budget and really cranks out some quality scenes in Oblivion. Then you throw in a bunch of unused footage from the first movie, I think its a real treat for fans. On top of all that you get a stellar performance from Scrimm, where he is given a bit of room to show his talent.
