Phantasm Ravager
Directed by David Hartman
After Mike disappeared at the end of PHANTASM IV, Reggie finds himself wandering in the desert, taking down spheres while trying to figure out where his friend went. But when Reggie wakes up in a nursing home, with Mike insisting he’s suffering from dementia, he must struggle to figure out what’s real and what’s an illusion. As he begins to leap back and forth between a peaceful present and a dystopian future where The Tall Man has almost won, Reggie must summon all his courage and his two best friends, Mike and Jody, to finally defeat the unholy alien evil.
While searching for Mike, Reggie prepares himself for one final epic battle with The Tall Man.

These films are so silly, weird, and relatively unpredictable.
This is a very interesting conclusion to the Phantasm franchise. I won't spoil it, but you're either going to go, "Ah, it all makes sense now" or you're going to be "I followed this series for five movies and THIS is how you decide to end it?" It really just depends on your tolerance for endings "such as this" which has been done to death in many other movies. Ravager is VERY ambitious but Don Coscarelli just didn't have the budget to fully bring his vision to life. I will say this, love it or hate it, the finale will make you look at the prior entries in an totally different light. I liken the finale of Phantasm to the finale of The Dark tower series: it may not be what we, as fans, were hoping for, but it does conclude and finish the story.
I wish my life made sense like this
I’ve just finished watching it and it’s by far the wackiest, craziest , out there movie from the franchise. Is it good ?….Hell no!!!! Hahahaha but having watched the very first movie to this last instalment, you develop a fondness for the characters created and an appreciation for the story telling style, even if it’s mind bending at times. I hope they make another one, it’s been a fun ride…
a very ambitious finale that unfortunately seems to have had a budget of five dollars
