It's all fairly absurd, but Coscarelli retains his enthusiasm and imagination with a healthy sense of ridiculousness.

Reviews for Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead
Sure, there's still the '71 Hemi 'Cuda and the four-barrel shotgun, but it's not enough to get past nunchucks and biker zombies.
Don Coscarelli outdoes the humor of John Hughes in what feels like a more honest version of the gleeful sadism in Home Alone.
The first film is like an actual nightmare, whereas the sequels feel more like someone's garish descriptions of a nightmare.
