Phantasm IV: Oblivion1998
“You Can't Go Forward Until You've Gone Back.”
Directed by Don Coscarelli
The premise
Taking off immediately where the last one ended, Mike travels across dimensions and time, fleeing from the Tall Man while trying to find the origins of his enemy and what really happened the night that his brother died. Meanwhile, Reggie battles spheres and the undead in a quest to find Mike before the Tall Man can complete his transformation.
Horror Vault's take
The fourth entry in the long-running Phantasm saga picks up without missing a beat, hurling Mike across dimensions and through time as he desperately searches for the truth behind the Tall Man's terrifying existence. Old questions about family, loss, and dark origins resurface as the mystery deepens rather than resolves. Back on Earth, fan-favourite Reggie wages his own relentless war against flying spheres and shambling horrors in a race to reach Mike in time. Atmospheric and strange, Oblivion leans into the franchise's dreamlike dread more than ever.
