"Being a bizarre blend of such all over the place tones and incongruous concepts is par for the course when it comes to "Phantasm." And here's the thing about being three movies deep into the series: By this point, you either "get" the "Phantasm" films, or you don't. Not in a logic or narrative sense, mind you. No one "gets" that, not even creator Don Coscarelli, who can't seem to keep his own continuity consistent from one scene to the next. Rather, revisiting these misfit characters and their weird world carries a magnetic appeal that can be difficult to articulate to anyone outside its influence, no matter if the movie is mediocre." - Ian Sedensky, Culture Crypt
