Reggie Bannister is back as family friend\/badass Reggie, as are A Michael Baldwin and Bill Thornbury as Mike and his brother Jody, and the late, great Angus Scrimm makes his final appearance as the fantastically menacing The Tall Man.<\/p>\n<p>Coscarelli co-wrote the film with David Hartman, who also takes over directing duties. Speaking to EW, Coscarelli said that &#8220;\u201cIt\u2019s a swan song to the series.\u00a0There\u2019s some new iterations of those brain-shucking spheres and a lot of good stuff that the fans will\u00a0enjoy.\u00a0It ties up a lot of the storylines and answers some questions that fans have had.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also a new trailer for the restoration, which fans can see at the London Film Festival next month. The original film starred Baldwin as the teenage Mike, who discovers that the local mortician is stealing bodies for terrible, monstrous purposes, and becomes a target for The Tall Man and his deadly spheres. It put Coscarelli on the map, and in addition to the cult <strong><em>Phantasm<\/em><\/strong> franchise, the filmmaker has also given us such excellent genre works as <strong><em>Bubba Ho-Tep<\/em> <\/strong>and <strong><em>John Dies At The End<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xQFn0e5d00Q\" width=\"616\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Phantasm: Ravager will be released on 7 October in the US.
