Robson C Mike, após descobrir que está se transformando em uma das esferas do Tall Man, foge para o deserto para se preparar para enfrentar o vilão. Enquanto isso, Reggie parte atrás para tentar ajudar o amigo. Aqui nós temos a origem do Tall Man, ou pelo menos, parte dela. Reggie é um personagem totalmente descartável nesta continuação, pois a história de Mike e a dele só vão se encontrar no final. Então o filme perde tempo em contar as aventuras em paralelo dele. Poderia fazer o filme totalmente baseado no Mike, na busca de entender o que está acontecendo com ele e na sua luta com Tall Man. Só que o roteiro fica muito cabeça em relação a isso, tornando chata a saga de Mike. Percebe-se o diretor e roteirista Don Coscarelli extraindo o que pode desta franquia, que poderia ter se encerrado há muito tempo atrás. Tem bons efeitos especiais e agora podemos ver os rostos dos anões, que eram encobertos nos primeiros filmes pela túnica, a la os jawas de Star Wars. Mais uma franquia que não soube parar. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/12/24 Full Review Liam D Easily the worst phantasm movie. An incoherent mess that feels like it was rushed to release (that’s because it was) Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/26/24 Full Review chris h Was a chore to get thru....offers nothing to franchise Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/25/24 Full Review Jason S I like this one better than the third one because it had better acting we see more of mike and the tall man and more better scenes but this one did not a lot of sets it is just a hotel roads and deserts and a pretty low budget which is 650,000 dollars but not dumb like the third one not bad acting and not the same ending like the first three films did. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/07/23 Full Review robert p Another fantastic movie that the series is still using the same characters from previous films makes this a very good cult classic on DVD, thus my *3 and 1/2* star review!!! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member While I can appreciate this film for its direction and attempt to add lore to The Tall Man and its attempt to restore the feel of the original movie, this film isn't without flaws. This film is one of the films with a lower budget in the series, and you feel it at times, and this film's first half is horrendous in its slow pacing. However, the atmosphere and tone of this film are what stick out and keep it from being a bad entry in my eyes. While this film is not my personal cup of tea, I can see why some may like it more than me, and why others may dislike it more than me. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
