too predictable, the plot was very uninspired, the special effects look so bad, that even my friends and i had better zero dollar effects in our home movies, the ending was gross. i understand this movie may look innocent, but they had broke copyright laws, too, as in , the trailer features quiet riots "terrified" and the movies budget no money for the rights. yes, i did waste my time watching this movie, and i regretted it. now to be honest, for what it was, it wasn't the worst, i mean at least some the demonic voices are decent, but this movie has no place in history, period. now this is without a doubt benjamin carrs worst movie, not to say kraa wasn't bad, but at least that one was good enough to have a cult following, but anyways, this movie has nothing to offer, and im so gld its not on DVD!

Juvenile tale of teen Mike (John Patrick White), his genius younger brother Arnie (Taylor Locke, son of the producer, and worse than most kid actors) and little sister Cindy (Lauren Summers), who receive a weird phone call from their parents one night. Mom and dad (Belinda J. Montgomery and Jim Metzler) never come home so the kids track them down to a ghost town in some kind of time freeze (it's 1882 there). The town is full of alien cowboys that spit green goo, people wrapped in cocoons underground in catacombs and strange symbols painted on walls. The ghost of an old Indian shows up to help. The western town set is good and a handful of surprising effects (a mutant sheriff, a giant eye monster, an evil book that grows legs and runs) keep this watchable for younger horror fans, who are the target audience anyway. It was filmed in the U.S. and Romania from the same production company that brought us TEENAGE SPACE VAMPIRES.

Phantom Town is a great movie, It includes, comedy, adventure and most of all HORROR!!!! My eyes where glued to the TV screen from credits to credits. The acting is just mind boggling and the movie has cutting edge special effects. One my memorable moments of the film is when one characters utters "wow! talk about ugly, this thing is worse than my math teacher!!! Hahah. Cracked me up till the end!!! I highly recommend watching this film, however the film is so amazing that it can't be found on DVD or it's hard find on VHS at local video store, and it's to scary for HBO and ICONTROL so you must order it via internet." This movie is so amazing, It inspires me to make all my films,If you want! Horror,Comedy and Adventure, please take the time to order this great movie" stated James Edward Seyer, and aspiring filmmaker.To some it all up. This movie is amazing! and to note, The music and score is awesome!

When I watched this movie it was an afternoon after I got home from work. I love horror movies and have seen some really cheesy ones, but this takes the cake. The plot presented to the viewer in the beginning of the movie seems a little intriguing, but as the movie progresses the script makes a wrong turn with horrible cliches and bad presentation, which in turn makes the movie completely dull and boring. I don't mean to keep criticizing the script and plot, because believe me that is not the worst part. I have to say as a whole the acting was not terrible for beginning actors, and I was impressed with Taylor Locke, this being one of his first movies. The worst part of the movie was the special effects. They reeked of low budget, and really ruined the viewers entertainment, even if he had been remotely interested in the plot. I do recommend you watch this movie to understand the power of a bad script and plot. Only then can you really appreciate good writers and directors.
