Phantasm II (1988)
Nine years after the original Phantasm, director Don Coscarelli along with stars Angus Scrimm and Reggie Bannister return with this sequel set seven years later.
In truth it's simply more of the same except with guns this time and the silver spheres, which don't appear for the first hour meaning i'd forgotten they were in it, actually have a bit more screen time. Plus there's three of them and they have differing ways of drilling heads. Which was nice.
Although the film loses much of the surreal impact of the original, the additional action, much of which is gleefully gloopy, means i didn't have any less fun with it.
