Slant Magazine -
What makes Phantasm special is the way it captures a boy's life in 1978. [Remastered]

Time Out London -
Over the course of three wild sequels, Coscarelli expanded his bizarre universe in a variety of imaginative and deliriously entertaining ways – but the original set the standard. [Remastered]

Empire -
It deliberately makes no sense, but it has more bizarro gimmicks to the minute than any other horror picture of 1979.

Newsweek -
Lurid, illogical and utterly off-the-wall, this funny-scary exercise in low-budget schlock is a marvelous orgy of cheap thrills, including a supernaturally sinister mortuary, a hideously wriggling severed finger, one furry flying creature, dwarfs from the Undead, and the goriest - indeed the only - blood-sucking flying steel ball in movie history. [16 April 1979, p.86]

TV Guide Magazine -
A wonderfully creative, bizarre, delightfully terrifying horror film that never fails to surprise.
