![]() ![]() ![]() Phantasm Oblivion is pretty much the same deal. In terms of picture quality and sound for each release, Phantasm III is a bit messy during the darker scenes with a bit more film grain than you’d expect, but the print is clean, sharp, and clear during the daytime moments. Aside from a couple of things noted below, there’s no other bits of supplemental material for either of these films that hasn’t already appeared on previous domestic or international DVD or Blu-ray releases. New to Blu-ray are Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead and Phantasm IV: Oblivion. Phantasm Remastered and Phantasm: Ravager retain all of the bells and whistles contained on their initial 2016 releases (click the above links for reviews), and Phantasm II retains all of the extras found on the previous Scream Factory release, so if you have these already and want to make room for this box set, you can get rid of them at your leisure without fear of losing anything. The box contains Phantasm Remastered (1979), Phantasm II (1988), Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead (1994), Phantasm IV: Oblivion (1998), most recent installment Phantasm: Ravager (2016), and a sixth disc of nothing but bonus features, as well as Phantasm Compendium – a 120-page book featuring exclusive interviews and rare, behind-the-scenes photos chronicling the history and impact of the franchise, plus a 21” x 27” reversible poster – one side has the box set artwork, the other the Phantasm artwork – for good measure. I wouldn’t imagine it’d be wise to treat these assets with kid gloves, but if you’re shelling out the dough, you’re either a collector or a huge phan, both of whom I would expect to treat this packaging with the necessary respect to ensure its longevity. Though reversible, the paper stock feels a bit on the flimsy side and so do the Blu-ray cases, which feel strangely thin and fragile. The box is sturdy and classy looking with a black finish and foil-accented artwork, and the Blu-ray wraps themselves can be reversed to either match the black or show off the original artwork. ![]()
