PHANTOMS

Year Released: 1998 MPAA Rating: R Running Time: 91 minutes Click to Expand Credits: Starring Peter O'Toole, Joanna Going, Rose McGowan, Liev Schreiber, and Ben Affleck. Directed by Joe Chappelle and Richard Clabaugh. Produced by Joel Soisson, Michæl Leahy, Bob Pringle and Steve Lane.

A smalltown doctor (Joanna Going) travels to pick up her sister (Rose McGowan) from the airport, comes back, and the whole town is either dead or missing. A sheriff from a neighboring town (Ben Affleck) shows up, and soon all Hell breaks loose, literally. Hot Damn! A full-on gory (relatively) unpretensious horror movie! How long has it taken Dimension to start making these? Unfortunately, the second starts tanking, around the time Peter O’Toole shows up to survey the wreck that is now his carreer. Still, “Phantoms” is far better than it has any right to be.
