Phantasm

On Tuesday, I saw “Phantasm”.  This movie is about 3 guys (13-year-old Mike, Jody, his brother, and friend Reggie) that take on the Tall Man (a supernatural undertaker) to prevent him from turning the whole town into dwarfs. 

When I first saw this film, my favorite uncle/godparent was still alive.  I remember that he took one look at it and grimaced.  I smiled.  That’s probably why I have such a sentimental attachment to this movie.  It’s surreal and has memorable characters.  Not to mention that the Tall Man’s scream was awesome!  I also liked the red and blue colored backlighting throughout the movie.  It’s too bad that the sequels were not as good.
