Phantoms (1998) Overview

1. Phantoms movie review & film summary (1998) - Roger Ebert

30 sep 2024 · Phantoms is a bad movie, but it's bad in the best way a movie can be. It's failing hard at doing something quite ambitious.

“Phantoms” contains gore, violence and profanity; however, no more than one should expect if viewing an R rated movie. One element that is disturbing though is ...
