Tyler Doupe Dread Central Phantom of the Mall: Eric's Revenge is dripping with '80s cheese. But the film can't decide if it's a stalk-and-slash picture or a teenage melodrama. Rated: 2/5 Dec 4, 2021 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Pauly Shore offers lame humor as a geeky high school kid. In other words, Hollywood KNEW about Pauly Shore and still went ahead and made Encino Man and Jury Duty (the bastards!). Rated: 1.5/4 Nov 27, 2021 Full Review Kat Hughes THN Filled with a slew of familiar faces of television, Phantom of the Mall: Eric's Revenge starts strong, but quickly gets tangled in its transparent and flimsy plot.

Justin T The sound quality and picture quality were a little ugly but this could have been down to a bad quality transfer. The effects and design were ample for the purpose. Nothing special though. I liked the attempt at a modern take of a classic story. Shame that it is really tacky and unimaginative! Still tacky cheesy fun is contained within which is something. It was enjoyable seeing Pauly Shore looking fresh-faced and young but he hadn’t fully become the weasel yet. Apart from one cool moment and some fun stunts it is average tacky cheese from the eighties. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/13/24 Full Review Nina E Most of the reviews here are cheesier than the movie and that's saying a lot. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/24 Full Review brad p Phantom of the Mall: Eric's Revenge is dripping with ‘80s cheese. But the film can't decide if it's a stalk-and-slash picture or a teenage melodrama. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Lucas C PREFACE: I'm in my 40s, and I don't care if I hurt your feelings. In my youthful days of systematically renting every horror movie on the shelf, I landed on this one. The critics hated it. Which is a good sign. If a slasher movie (pre-Scream) is getting good reviews, it usually means they did something wrong. In this case, they didn't exactly do a hell of a lot right either. It's formulaic, predictible, and completely lacking in suspense or terror of any kind. Where it does succeed is in the 80s-horror-excess department (read: sex and violence). Plenty of well done and gory kills (popping of eyeballs, cobras popping up in the toilet to bite a guy *there*), a fair amount of breast-baring. Two or three familiar faces (Morgan Fairchild, Pauly Shore, and Dawn of the Dead's Ken Foree) appear as well, lending the would-be cheapie production a touch of street cred. The story is typical slasher movie crap, except that they've borrowed elements of Phantom of the Opera for the killer's motive rather than come up with a new origin story. Regardless, it's harmless 80s horror nostalgia, and certainly not the worst of its kind. Leave your brain in the sock drawer, you won't be needing it for this one. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Silly as hell cult flick with alot more genre cameos than I was expecting. It's not as funny, gory, or gonzo as I was expecting from such a premise. The end result is a fun midnight movie, but nothing to write home about... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/22 Full Review Audience Member If you're a horror aficionado then when you're watching a 'midnite-movie' like this you want a bunch of things. You want a few shocks here and there, some entertaining gore shots, and a lot of really dumb people about to walk into a sharp pointy death--Eric's Revenge is a cheesy, violent late night B Movie, nothing more, nothing less!!
