Movie Review: Phantoms (1998)

After watching the latest film from David Fincher, the fantastic Gone Girl, I decided to step into Ben Affleck's past and revisit one of his horror entries. That movie is none other than Phantoms, a favorite whipping boy of the horror elite. At this stage of the game, it has largely been forgotten, or, at most, relegated to the infamous bit in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, when the duo meet Ben Affleck (playing himself) and saying "You the bomb in Phantoms, yo!". To be honest, I was really rather curious to see if it remained as terrible as I remembered it, or if time had been kind enough to let it be revealed as something more, something worthy of our time rather than a perpetual Affleck career speed bump.

Critical Outcast isn't my first attempt at a website, I had a few stutter steps in the late 1990's and early 2000's. These attempts generated a whole bunch of poorly written, often very short and spoilerific reviews. I recently stumbled upon them in my archives and thought you may be interested in seeing some of these early attempts at writing. They are as they were then, I make no apologies for how bad or how short they are. Feel free to have at them with reckless abandon! I present to you: Reviews in Retrograde.

Movie Review: Phantasm - OblIVion

Following the release of Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead in 1994, plans were made for a fourth film. A screenplay was penned by none other than Roger Avary (Pulp Fiction, Silent Hill) with an eye towards a release in 1999. Well, it took a little while to try and pull it together so Don Coscarelli made his own fourth film, OblIVion. The intention was to use this as a bridge to the Avary penned film. Unfortunately, it appears that the ship has sailed and this supposed bridge has more of an air of finality to it. This is not really a bad thing, as the movie really is not all that bad and definitely has a few things going for it.
