Don Coscarelli outdoes the humor of John Hughes in what feels like a more honest version of the gleeful sadism in Home Alone.

Reviews for Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead
It's all fairly absurd, but Coscarelli retains his enthusiasm and imagination with a healthy sense of ridiculousness.
Sure, there's still the '71 Hemi 'Cuda and the four-barrel shotgun, but it's not enough to get past nunchucks and biker zombies.
The first film is like an actual nightmare, whereas the sequels feel more like someone's garish descriptions of a nightmare.
