Meanwhile, Reggie (accompanied by a beauty he picked up on the road) battles the spheres and the undead in a quest to find Mike before the Tall Man can complete his transformation.

Trivia

(at around 41 mins) The old lady sitting in the rocking chair outside Jebediah Morningside's house, who also appears next to Mike while driving the hearse, is supposed to be the fortune teller from Phantasm (1979), originally played by Mary Ellen Shaw. In this movie, the character is played by an uncredited, unknown actress. See more »

Goofs

(at around 41 mins) When Michael meets Morningside, as he backs away, he backs into an old lady sitting in a chair. Morningside touches her hand, then walks behind the chair and gestures with his right hand towards Michael, yet when the camera goes back to the old lady, she's still holding his right hand.

Yeah ... whatever ...
14 November 2017 | by rdoyle29See all my reviews

Maybe I like this one more than II or III ... it's hard to say. On the plus side, it tries to have an atmosphere more like the original film and less like a horror action comedy. On the minus side, it literally makes no sense. Unused footage from the original film was found and dropped into this film as ... well as what? It depicts events that could not have happened given how the original film ultimately came together, so what is this meant to represent? This is really symptomatic of the entire film. Reggie encounters some chick on the road, and stuff happens, but none of her interactions with him really make sense or ultimately amount to anything. It's a bit like all the elements of your typical Phantasm film were dropped in a cup, shook up, and dumped out onto a table and then that was filmed.
