For the last eight years of his life Mike Pearson has been in a mental institution, after the horrible events he went through culminating in the death of his brother. Getting psychic messages from an unknown girl, Mike plays along with the doctors to get his release. Mike is quickly reunited with Reggie Bannister, the only other person to believe what happened to him and his brother, because Reggie was there. After a flaming homecoming by the Tall Man, Reggie and Mike get armed and decide to hunt him down and put and end to the Tall Man and his unnatural evil once and for all.

Basically a horror buddy flick, Phantasm II is very well done. An older Mike and the still bad ass pony tailed Reggie hit the road in search of the Tall Man. The trail is easy enough to follow as the Tall Man heads to small towns, robs the local graveyards of any bodies, and kills anyone who gets in his way.

After picking up a hot hitchhiker by the name of Alchemy, the three finally come face to face with the Tall Man and his demented jawas in a small Oregon town. Once in town, Mike meets Liz, the girl who has been sending him little mental post-its. Now a foursome, the group takes it to the Tall Man.

More gore and better effects make this one a fair flick, plus some hot ass hitchhiker cooch makes for a pretty good flick too, and Reggie knows how to handle that. And, of course, we also get the return of the flying spheres this time with a few new tricks. The gore in this one is sky high when it's there, only problem is there are only about three good deaths. The plot flows good and the ending is very creepy and pretty surprising, a very good twist.

My only real complaint with this film is Reggie. Here's why. Reggie the gunsmith that he is makes a quadruple barrel 12 gauge in order to fight the Tall Man's hell spawn. The only problem after firing this cannon, to a great splattering, he discards the weapon! I don't get it, but it made one hell of a shot. Violence, babes and silver balls, how can you go wrong?
