Phantom of Death

About This Movie

Phantom of Death, well, it's an interesting mix of horror and thriller that leans into that late 80s vibe. You get this gritty atmosphere from the start, especially with the whole police procedural angle. Datti, the police commissioner, is on the hunt for a murderer whose taunting phone calls add a layer of tension. The pacing is kind of relentless, but it keeps you engaged. The performances have this raw energy, particularly from the lead; it feels like they really embody the desperation of their characters. Plus, the practical effects are worth noting – they have that gritty realism that digital just can't replicate. It's not your typical slasher, more of a psychological game, which sets it apart in that period of horror cinema.
