The horror that is the Tall Man (Angus Scrimm) rises again as he goes in search of a successor in this Phantasm series installment. Our hero, Mike (Michael Baldwin), is trying to learn how and why the Tall Man became so powerful while simultaneously attempting to escape the madman's clutches. Mike will need help from his friends, Reggie (Reggie Bannister) and Jody (Bill Thornbury), but can they make it in time? (official distributor synopsis)

The American production Phantasm IV: Oblivion is really only for diehard fans. This is because there is no point in watching it if you are not familiar with it, and the uninitiated viewer is not going to find it very entertaining. Otherwise, there is enough weirdness to be sure this is still the same franchise. However, it is also boring in places, which is really quite a terrible shame.

After watching this film, the concept of a pig’s breakfast has a new face, the face of Phantasm IV. There is something that could be called a plot, but if anyone can find their bearings in that uncontrolled chaos, they are a genius. Tallman is the only one that’s good (though he looks very old already), I didn’t like Reggie, and Mike got on my nerves. If there is a fifth entry and if it is as contrived and senseless as this one, Coscarelli can go to hell already.
