Phantasm: Ravager is our first film in almost 18 years and
happy to report, you can tell the energy and passion was all over the writing
and directing of this film. The brothers Jody and Mike with the help of Reggie,
the two teens surviving the Tall Man has become a iconic story. Their lack of
defeat on The Tall Man, let this story move forward with sequels. The story
picks up with Reggie. He is living in a hospital and is wheelchair bound. He is
haunted with nightmares and lapses in time and memory. We get the feeling early
on that he may be suffering from Alzheimer’s. That is what he wants us to
think. In this other dimension, Reggie is a shotgun carrying ice cream man on
the trail of the Tall Man and his minions. That is also what he wants us to
think. He may be just trapped in this post-apocalyptic alternate dimension that
The Tall Man and annihilated the world with a virus, with the exception of
clones of the Tall Man.
