The Phantasm Collection [Special Edition Boxset] [Blu-ray] [6 Discs]

Well Go USA had a challenge in putting together this set for a small yet dedicated fanbase. Not only did they have to please fans of these five films in terms of picture and sound quality, design, bonus features, and extras, but they were also competing with the established Arrow Films. While there were some issues in confused distribution, otherwise I have few complaints with this set. The design is lovely and shelf space-friendly. The films will most likely never look better, especially the first Phantasm, which was remastered in 4K. Parts 3 & 4 are also remastered. The bonus disc packs a lot of material including excellent preexisting documentaries. A book and poster come nestled in the box as well. Phantasm is the rare series overseen beginning to end by it's original creator. It's my favorite horror franchise of all time and this set is a wonder to me! Unshockingly, it comes with my highest recommendation.

Great movies loved these movies since I was a kid all 5 movies in high definition. Reversible covers tons of extras. A must buy for Phantasm fans.

5 Phantasm movies plus a ton of extras in a great box set that also includes a poster and booklet. Very happy that Best Buy is carrying this in stores, not very happy that their security wrap damages the edges of every box.

I have been a fan of the Phantasm films since I saw the first one as a child. They are an amazing statement on how to make low budget, complex films and trust the audience will follow along. I will admit that Ravager was a bit of a stretch with Reggie getting on and Angus Scrimm at deaths door but even so there is some closure and plenty of smiles. The box set itself is very nice, giving you multiple cover choices for the Blu rays and also a nice companion booklet. If you have the great book Phantasm Exhumed then the booklet treads over some familiar territory, but is still a nice little keepsake. The movies look great in their upgrades and the films are just as much fun loosing nothing in the transfer. A definite for fans of the series as there are some amazing docs, accompanying each movie and a great bonus disc.

I love the Phantasm movies, but I've never owned them because I was holding out for a set like this. I was amazed by the quality and dedication that was shown to putting this set together. So often, franchise box sets just get thrown together from existing releases without any new special features, restorations, or attention to detail. I was half expecting that with this release, but was blown away. The films have never looked better, the special features are STACKED (both on the disks, and the collectible booklet), and the set as a whole is gorgeous. My only complaint is the packaging on the individual discs is flimsy. I had read that same complaint on other reviews, but even though that aspect is disappointing, the rest of the set is almost perfect.

One of the most popular franchises in the history of horror, the Phantasm film series has terrified fans for generations. Well Go USA Entertainment answers the prayers of those fans with the highly anticipated release of THE PHANTASM COLLECTION, a six-disc Blu-ray™ box set debuting on April 11. The collection features all five frightening films in the series – PHANTASM: REMASTERED (1979), PHANTASM II (1988), PHANTASM III: LORD OF THE DEAD (1994), PHANTASM IV: OBLIVION (1998) and the most recent installment PHANTASM: RAVAGER (2016). In all five films of Don Coscarelli's iconic series, Mike (Michael Baldwin) faces off against a mysterious grave robber known only as the Tall Man (Angus Scrimm) and his lethal arsenal of terrible weapons.

Having been a Phantasm fan for nearly 40 years and collected tapes and DVDs throughout, you can imagine this Blu ray set of installments was a sweet find, and like viewing them for the first time. While my pick of the lot, Pt 2, has been available for some time on BRay, the others have not , so the transfers are great enhancements in both the sound and vision departments. JJ Abrams oversaw the transfer of the initial film and it's head and shoulders over anything this picture has enjoyed before, same is true for the remaining pictures. There's lots of background, adders, info, and just fun updates on each disc, along with a poster and booklet to round out the package................ what are you waiting for? Highly Recommended!

This is the collection to have for Phantasm fans. Even if you already bought Phantasm last fall (or Phantasm: Ravager), this set is a marked improvement over that disc. The films look great, are loaded with extras old and new - many from Don Coscarelli's personal archives - and it's all collected in an attractive and sturdy box. Don't like the covers to the discs? Flip them for the original poster are. Enjoy the book, and hang up your own poster. Again, two sided - choose between a larger version of the set's artwork, or the poster from Phantasm's restored theatrical run last year.
