THE BALL IS BACK!!! We're thrilled to present for
one-night-only Don Coscarelli’s PHANTASM in a newly remastered 4K
presentation personally overseen by JJ Abrams. It’s part of Star Wars:
The Force Awakens lore that JJ Abrams named Captain Phasma after
PHANTASM!
The beloved cult horror classic is a
cerebral nightmare epic that sounds like something that you’d find
scribbled on H.P. Lovecraft's bedsheets: A teenage boy discovers that an
indestructible grandpa is harvesting the deceased. Grandpa transforms
the dead into dwarves that will serve him in another dimension. Luckily,
the local marijuana-loving ice cream man is willing to join in the
battle against the paranormal retiree. Shotguns and shapeshifting take
center stage as unholy darkness threatens to swallow the town alive,
complete with flying metal murderballs. Writer/director Don Coscarelli
creates an absorbing otherworld ruled by the "Tall Man," one of cinema's
all-time greatest villains, and the unparalleled score will haunt you
for decades. This is truly one of the most effective reality-liquefiers
in horror history. It's also the perfect Halloween mood-setter.
