Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead
I think that Reggie has developed nicely as a lead character. He makes a lot of mistakes, and he always 'dies' at the end of every movie, but he keeps coming. One of my favorite spots in the movie was the old house which was modified into a clown house of death. Very cool. I'm still digging every movie in the series so far, and I wonder why I haven't ventured into them until now. Check this flick out if you liked the rest. 3 out of 5.
Characters:
- Reggie: The poor bastard that 'dies' at the end of every one of these movies. He's not doing to well at the end of this one either.
- Tim: Kick-ass little boy who helps Reggie fight the Tall Man.
- Mike: Reggie's friend and partner from the first movies. Gets taken by the tall Man and has some 'surgery' done.
- Jody: Mike's dead brother who lives in one of the flying balls of death.
- Rocky: Military chic Reggie has a thing for. Gets the hell out of there before the Tall Man recovers. That was a good idea...
- The Tall Man: You can't keep this bastard down!
- Edna, Henry, & Rufus: A gang of thieves that get slaughtered by Tim.
The Totals:
- Body Count: 8
