Phantasm: Ravager only works when it's a piece of straight-up fan service.

Retains all the offbeat humor and casual surrealism that has kept this franchise afloat for over three decades.

The main character, played by Bannister, is forever baffled as to what his actual reality is. His bafflement is shared by the viewer.

Ravager's narrative alters reality so much it's almost impossible to know what's real and what's a dream - true to form of the previous installments.

... the film lurches, camouflaging its insufficiency with less and less agile narrative turns. But it also maintains the spirit of the original... [Full review in Spanish]

Phantasm: Ravager is a triumphant conclusion to this franchise, and I had a great time seeing the entire original cast together onscreen one last time, as they all brought an infectious sense of enthusiasm to the table with their performances.

Love the franchise. But this was astonishingly bad.

The narration at the start is pretty cheesy, it’s definitely the weakest attempt to follow on from the previous film. They could have at least cleaned their lenses, they were so dirty. The CGI looks pretty bad. Overall this is a disappointing finale. They should have tried to match the tone of the first film and not make an action film as they did a terrible job of making the action. It is far and away the ugliest one of the series, horrible cinematography, especially outside during the day. One of the ugliest films, not just of the Phantasm films. The indoor scenes didn’t look as bad. It has the worst acting. The comedic elements are back and that was what dragged Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead (1994) down. I quite liked the music and this is a complete franchise told over 37 years. Although this is easily the worst of the series and not really worth watching.

Very confusing, poor effects, subpar acting, and hardly faithful to its predecessors.

I really REALLY wanted this movie to be good SO BAD. It wasn't good. At all. The effects dropped by ALOT. Like they swapped out the good practical effects for some shitty CGI. They also fuck up the Tall Man. Gone were the days were he was taking over the world quietly instead we get him using full on spaceships to bomb everything. Plus this movie ignores almost every question the past movies set up. They also try to make you think the movies were a dream of Reggie's for way to long and it really hurts the film. I don't know why it took them so long to make Phantasm 5 but I feel like if they made it not to long after the 4th film it could have been good. Sadly however we might never get a satisfying conclusion to Phantasm's story.
