Rewatched Phantasm. All I can say is that it's crazy, imaginative, vivid, and often feels like a Dave Lynch pic. It's kinda amazing.
BUT...it feels more like a collection of great moments more than a great movie as a whole. It's super-frazzled. I recently rewatched the original Evil Dead and was amazed by its cohesion, despite the madness. Whereas this is more an untidied madness.
It's brilliant, I'd recommend it if you want summat mad. I'll have to dig out the boxset, I had the 'ball' set back in the day but it just protruded everywhere and was just a really awkward item. I'd like to rewatch 2 and see all the rest that I haven't seen, The Tall Man is fun.
