Customer Reviews of Phantasm II

I actually liked it more than the original
The horror genre is pretty much known for having sequels that are far inferior to the original; of course there are always exceptions, but overall it's rare to find a sequel better than the original. <
> <
>In my opinion Phantasm II is one of those very rare sequels that are better than the original. I enjoyed the original, but I'll be honest when I say I was never really a huge fan. <
> <
>There is nothing wrong with the original, but I just couldn't get into it; where as with Phantasm II I was into it the whole movie. For starters I liked the characters more here in the sequel. That's not too say the characters weren't likeable in the original, they were but I just liked them more here. <
> <
>I also thought Don Coscarelli did a better job at the pacing of the movie. Each scene moves the movie forward and I never really found any portion of the movie slow. Phantasm II for me, is a movie that moves really fast and feels a lot shorter than it actually is. Even I thought Phantasm had a great creepy feel I personally thought it was kind of boring at times. <
> <
>The only problem I have with Phantasm II was the great and creepy atmosphere the original had, which is felt through out the movie isn't really here in Phantasm II. <
> <
>There are plenty of suspenseful moments, but the sense of dread and doom isn't here like the original. But even though Phantasm II lacked that again I found it much better paced. As I sated before I did enjoy the original, but honestly it's not a personal favorite of mine despite the fact there was more I liked than disliked. <
> <
>I might be in the minority here, but I really liked James LeGros as Mike. A. Michael Baldwin who played the part in the original as well as Phantasm III & Phantasm IV does an excellent job in his installments, but I personally liked James LeGros more. <
> <
>Reggie Bannister is great once again as Reggie I liked him even more in the sequel. Both Bannister & LeGros really worked well together and make for one of the best teams in a horror flick. <
> <
>Newly added to the cast is Paula Irvine as Liz and Samantha Phillips Alchemy. Both women are excellent and provide many great moments. Angus Scrimm returns as The Tall Man and again provides a great performance and while he is creepy I did find him creepier in the original. <
> <
>Phantasm II is one my favorite sequels and favorite horror movies in general and as I stated before I liked it more than the original, my only wish was that Phantasm II had the really creepy vibe the original had. That is for me the only flaw of the movie. <
> <
>Phantasm II was a faced paced and exciting sequel; the fact that Don Coscarelli returned was the main reason for that. Too many sequels have different filmmakers and a lot of the times it just doesn't work as well. <
> <
>Phantasm II is an excellent sequel with great pacing and likeable characters. This was a great continuation of the series. Hopefully soon we will get an SE DVD. With the recent re-release of Phantasm & Phantasm III maybe Universal will come around and give us fans a proper Region 1 release or possibly sell the rights to Anchor Bay. <
