Trivia
(at around 21 mins) The hospital bed scene alongside Reggie Bannister was the last scene Angus Scrimm filmed as the character The Tall Man.

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.

Messy and Unnecessary Fifth Return of the Cult Franchise

Reggie (Reggie Bannister) is wandering through the desert seeking out his friend Mike (A. Michael Baldwin) and the evil The Tall Man ( Angus Scrimm). Along his journey, he is hunted down by the dangerous spheres and stumbles upon the gorgeous Dawn (Dawn Cody). Out of the blue, he finds himself in an institution with Mike explaining that he has dementia and then in another dimension. Where is Mike?

"Phantasm: Ravager" is a messy and unnecessary fifth return of this cult franchise. The story is confused and pointless, for the sorrow of the fans and in the end is hard to know where Mike is indeed, what is daydream and how The Tall Man would be defeated with his powers and his powerful army of spheres. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): "Fantasma: Devastador" ("Phantam': Ravager")

Note: On 02 May 2023, I saw this film again on DVD.
