Phantasm: Ravager only works when it's a piece of straight-up fan service.

Retains all the offbeat humor and casual surrealism that has kept this franchise afloat for over three decades.

The main character, played by Bannister, is forever baffled as to what his actual reality is. His bafflement is shared by the viewer.

Ravager's narrative alters reality so much it's almost impossible to know what's real and what's a dream - true to form of the previous installments.

... the film lurches, camouflaging its insufficiency with less and less agile narrative turns. But it also maintains the spirit of the original... [Full review in Spanish]

Phantasm: Ravager is a triumphant conclusion to this franchise, and I had a great time seeing the entire original cast together onscreen one last time, as they all brought an infectious sense of enthusiasm to the table with their performances.

Rated: 3.5/5

This is the final film in the franchise it is not bad as the third film bad sill good Reggie is good see mike again and the tall man is always is great and i like the first 20 minutes of the film but cgi is so terrible and budget feels the lowest budget of the franchise and you can tell the director was not don coscarelli but this one is better because it is not dumb for me

Very confusing, poor effects, subpar acting, and hardly faithful to its predecessors.

I really REALLY wanted this movie to be good SO BAD. It wasn't good. At all. The effects dropped by ALOT. Like they swapped out the good practical effects for some shitty CGI. They also fuck up the Tall Man. Gone were the days were he was taking over the world quietly instead we get him using full on spaceships to bomb everything. Plus this movie ignores almost every question the past movies set up. They also try to make you think the movies were a dream of Reggie's for way to long and it really hurts the film. I don't know why it took them so long to make Phantasm 5 but I feel like if they made it not to long after the 4th film it could have been good. Sadly however we might never get a satisfying conclusion to Phantasm's story.

Like all those that came before it, Ravager continues the weirdness and twisted dreamstate of reality for our heros. Phantasm is not just a film series, it was a work of art!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
