Making Phantasm II
The Ball is Back (2013)
*** 1/2 (out of 4)
Director Don Coscarelli is joined by actors Angus Scrimm, Reggie Bannister, Paula Irvine and several of the crew members as they discuss the making of PHANTASM II. The director starts off talking about the original movie and how he came up with the idea of doing a sequel. From here he talks about the lucky break they got that the main guy at Universal was a horror fan, which allowed this film to get into production. From here we hear about the casting, the various obstacles throughout the production and of course the eventual battle with the MPAA. If you're a fan of the series then Shout Factory! has once again delivered an extremely entertaining look at the making of a cult film. The documentary covers many avenues of the filmmaking and also gives you a chance to catch up with some of the familiar faces in the cast.
