While there, the young lovers will work through a tiff (grown more out of how others object to their relationship than any problems the pair have with each other) and help the older couple with a local ghost problem involving an apparition of a young girl strolling through the city streets at night crying out for its mother.

The Phantom

  • Title: The Phantom

Although 1996’s The Phantom wasn’t a big success with critics or audiences of the time, I had a grand old time seeing in theaters. The adaptation of Lee Falk‘s classic character unapologetically leans into making a comic book movie accepting the ridiculousness of the premise and championing it rather than forcing such bizarre concepts to appear more realistic. Set in 1938, with a focus on practical effects, if anything the nostalgic charm of the film has made it age even better with time. Revisiting it every few years, I always end up having a good time and appreciate it even more 30 years later.
