3.0 out of 5 stars
It was the late 80's! - Give it a break., September 15, 2001

Ok, this movie is a comedy. Not supposed to be. Grab the popcorn and get ready for some entertainment. See Morgan, Pauly and a pre-star Rob Estes. Ok, truth be told, I worked on this movie in 1988. It was my first job in Hollywood, so it will always have a place in my heart. Kirk Montgomery - Denver, CO.

Not as bad as some have said..., December 1, 2002
This review is from: Phantom of the Mall [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Honestly, it wasn't that bad! I know all my phellow phans are going to pelt me with tomatoes, but I rather enjoyed it. You kind of have to overlook the fact that it was the 80s with the fashion and the hair...*shiver*, but asside fromt hat, it's a good movie. The "phantom" in the movie is one supposedly dead Eric(I know I know, "c", but at least they bothered to use the right name)Matthews who had one side of his face burned in a fire and is living in the mall built over where his house once stood. He doesn't do much other than grunt and breathe hard until near the end of the movie, it's more centered on his girlfriend Melody who gets a job at the mall. She finds out Eric is alive with the help of the Raoul character Peter.
My only major complaint is with the ending. Melody was supposedly deeply in love with Eric and when she finally finds out he's alive she ditches him for Peter. That really threw me off. To me it seemed like she just woke up one morning and stopped loving Eric, it really was that sudden. That scene was the one that got me swearing at the TV. Oh, and then for the final kick in the ribs, Eric...well, I don't want to give away the ending, but she starts lip-locking with Peter at what was to me anyway, a very inappropriate time.
To summarize: A good movie, for the 80s, anyway even though I wanted to throw Melody off a cliff at the end. A should-see for phans.
