Hideously scarred maniac in a cops uniform goes on a bloody rampage of revenge and random killing. And it has everybody's favourite victim, who we all love to see suffer agonizing misfortunes, the legendary Bruce Campbell who plays a cop cheating on his wife. Getting caught in the sack with his bit on the side polishing his truncheon is the least of his worries though as he ends up blamed for the crimes.

What develops over the course of the movie is a strange and almost surreal escapade as the plane enters dark, morbid looking airspace where some huge, multi tentacled creature resides and is none too happy about the invaders jumping on it's cloud. The young group have to work out whats going on and find a way to escape the nightmare.

Here we have the sequel to the 1979 cult classic Phantasm, all dolled up with better special effects and ample goriness to satisfy the sickest of you. The storyline starts right off where the first movie ended, Mike’s brother is dead and Reggie’s life takes a turn for the worse when his family and home are destroyed by the Tall Man. Looking for revenge Reggie and Mike travel from one town to another looking to put an end to the Tall Man once and for all with the help from stragglers Alchemy and Liz. The movie draws us deeper into the sick and twisted alternate reality of the Tall Man and his heinous agenda, although it perhaps doesn’t go far enough in explaining things for my liking.

I really wanted to like this. The Horrorfest movies, considered as a whole, have been a lot better this year than the previous offerings.

By very definition, cinema limits possibilities.
