Cult, yes. Good, no.
While this series of films (four in total, all directed by Don Coscarelli-Beastmaster and Bubba Ho-Tep) found it's way into the horror hall of fame, it's for feeble reasons.
Plot: Undertaker (the Tall Man) goes around shrinking dead folk and turning them into his dwarf, zombie slaves, to be transported back to his home world. A young lad and his elder brother investigate. There's also this silver, flying ball (bit like the target ball in StarWars) with spikes that kills folk.
Budget: $300,000
Gross: $11,988,469 (it boggles the mind how this film could be so successful)
Fun Fact: If you're in the need to get a few answers from this rather blotchy storyline, the sequels are Phantasm II, Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead and Phantasm IV: Oblivion...enjoy?
