Phantasm III is very much like Phantasm II, but a little better if only because the original Michael is in it. But not for very much. Many of the other elements were in II and frankly, you could skip II and go right to this one and not have missed one thing.
Not a big-budget series of films, this seems like one episode of a weekly TV series, where they are on a road trip looking for the Tall Man. Their mission: to explore strange old mausoleums, to seek out new death and decimated civilizations, to oldly go where they have gone before.
Each new entry apparently requires a new style of sphere (I'd like to see the "action figure" for those!) and new quirky characters. The Tall Man remains creepy but that may get diluted because of his indestructability. There is no real ending for this movie, obviously set up for yet another sequel. I'm hoping they are setting up Michael to be an eventual successor to The Tall Man. But the story has to end somewhere.
That said, it is a decent waste of 90 minutes, not all that scary.
