Trivia
According to the book "Phantasm Exhumed," filming on Phantasm: Ravager first began in late 2008 where it was originally envisioned as a spin-off web series about the Reggie character. This webisode footage was eventually expanded upon with new footage that featured appearances by main cast members to become feature-length, and given a limited theatrical release throughout 2016.

Goofs
Near the halfway mark, when Reggie transports to the mausoleum corridor, every time they show him from the front, he is shown in what looks like a tight space, able to touch both sides at once with his arms, but when he is shown from the back, the sides seem much further apart, and he would be unable to do this.

Quotes
Reggie: Dude, bad news about your horse.

With so much time between movies, I hardly remember anything from Phantasm, but I do recall I liked some of the films enough to watch this fifth and probably final part of the series. But it was completely disappointing.

The movie is more like a collection of shorts that blend into each other as Reggie is either in a mental asylum, or a on his death bed or in a house trying to score with a redhead or in a hellish world taken over by Tall Man. Since it retains that dream quality of the previous movies, you never know what is real, especially since some of the scenes seem to be previously recorded but unreleased footage. Some extras are brought for no good reason and Angus has just a few scenes. The actor died this year, so RIP for him and probably for the series.

The problem laid with the lack of emotional impact for any of these scenes with disjointed action and characters that never develop and one barely remembers from previous films. Frankly, a waste of time for everyone involved.
