This movie was a mess
...in terms of tone. One minute it tried to be more serious, grown-up drama, and the next minute it was a kids' adventure. This movie couldn't decide what it wanted to be. No wonder it bombed!

shareNo, the tone is constant
shareYes, I agree. It’s constant camp, which was the goal. It’s also great fun. As an aside, I wonder how many people realize what a true beauty Kristy Swanson (the One True Buffy the Vampire Slayer) is in this movie. She makes SMG look like a boy. Yum. Plus: Donald Sutherland? Treat Williams? James Remar? Cary Hiroyuki-Tagawa? Patrick McGoohan, The Prisoner himself? You’ve got enough testosterone in this thing to start your own sperm-doaner clinic.
The scene where Billy Zane and Kristy ride together on that magnificent white horse on that stunning pure-white Thailand beach alone makes this movie worthwhile.
This movie was a mess . . . of great, fun, camp stuff.
I've always been a fan and enjoy it a great deal.
shareDonald Sutherland was in this? I've seen this so many times, must have forgotten. Is he the Phantoms dad?
shareI agree.
shareThis movie is my childhood. So I disagree. Kinda. It's a bad movie. But. Enjoyable on so many levels. Plus Kristy boner, zeta-jones in her prime. Microscope eye stabbers. Ghosts who walk. It has it all.
