Phantasm: Remastered and Ravager
I received Phantasm Remastered and Phantasm Ravager in exchange for this post; however, all opinions are 100% my own.
Phantasm is an amazing movie series, which is why I was so excited to get the chance to check out Remastered and Phantasm Ravager. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen this series, so I couldn’t wait to see if the original movie lived up to my expectations and if the newest sequel would fit right in with this classic series. Fortunately, both movies met all of my expectations.
Phantasm Remastered
Phantasm Remastered did not disappoint. I enjoyed all The Phantasm movies growing up and did not know what to expect watching it again years later. Usually being to out of date it would be a disappointment from special effects to clothing, however I enjoyed it almost as much as the first time. If you like scary movies this classic is worth the time.
Phantasm Ravager
If you enjoy the first Phantasm, then this sequel should be on your list of movies to watch! I love how Ravager holds all of the appeal of the first movie, including all of the original actors, but with updated effects. You will be on the edge of your chair the entire time as you watch this movie.
Overall, Phantasm Remastered and Phantasm Ravager were fun to watch. It was a wonderful experience to be able to watch the original and compare it to the newest installment of the series. I would highly recommend these for any Phantasm fanatic.
