Phantasm II (1988) YIFY - Download Movie TORRENT

WELL.... You GET.... What You PAY for!You will HAVE TO INVEST an Hour and a 1/2 of Your life in PHANTASM II.... I would say.... OK... Fair Enough!BUT BEFORE DIVING IN....FIRST... Let us FOCUS on the Title's Content and Context:When I saw PHANTASM in a theater in 1979, I liked it so much (9*), I went back a week later and saw it again! I missed Phantasm II while I was living in Colombia, So I decided to take a delayed-by-25-years look! My psyche was all set to enjoy PHANTASM II to the max! I hadn't seen much in the horror/terror genre in recent years, because I really don't like the direction the genre has been going in throughout the past 1/4 century. 8 to 9* was what I was hoping for...I was somewhat disappointed, but will give it 7.5*.Let's talk about P-2 for a moment...The whole film is based around sustaining a mood of imminent danger, a foreboding atmosphere. If you agree to go along with it, providing suspension of disbelief, you'll probably get a nice kick out of P-2. IMHO elements of the film, music, sound effects, lighting, pacing, etc., all contribute well to that end. So if you are genre-friendly , let's bump my 7.5* UP to 8*! If the horror/terror genre usually isn't your cup of tea, well let's round DOWN to 6*...Fair enough? In this case, I'd say having seen the original PHANTASM would add tend to add a Star to rating P-2, so it does help, but isn't absolutely indispensable.I really had forgotten how much gruesome gore there was in the original. There's probably even more here, but a lot less than in recent offerings, undoubtedly influenced by PHANTASM 1 and 2, like the SAW franchise (YECH!) As is typically the case in "B" movies, the acting and dialog usually leave a lot to be desired, but, hey, we don't watch these scouting for potential Oscar-nominees, now do we?!?Bottom-line: ALL of you who are, or have been horror/terror film buffs; a semi-cult classic you won't want to miss, or that you'll want to REDUX! If not in the above group...MAYBE NOT!In either case...ENJOY! / DISFRUTELA!Any comments, questions or observations, in English o en Español, are most welcome!

The balls are back better than before and so is Angus Scrimm as the Tall Man in Don Coscarelli's bigger budgeted follow up to his 1979 indie hit. Reggie Bannister returns in his signature role but James LeGros replaces Michael Baldwin as Mike, a move that didn't go down well with fans. It's a lot gorier than its predecessor and has a higher body count too. In one scene a mortuary assistant is cremated alive, in another a flying sphere bores into an unlucky guy and exits through his mouth. Despite this the movie goes out of its way to be fun and entertaining. Reggie gets laid in unusual circumstances and spends a large portion of his screen time involved in chainsaw duels, it's a bit of a nod to the Evil Dead movies (one in-joke even features some cremated remains being bagged up and labelled as belonging to a certain Mr Sam Raimi). This is a surprisingly decent horror sequel that builds on what was started in the first movie, and works as a gore filled piece of 80's horror with a premise unlike any other in the genre.
