How sad is this?
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Carol Anne has been sent to live with her Aunt and Uncle in an effort to hide her from the clutches of the ghostly Reverend Kane, but he tracks her down and terrorises her in her relatives' appartment in a tall glass building. Despite some familiar faces such as Nancy Allen from Robocop I, II and III this Poltergeist sequel runs out of steam a bit more quicker than i expected plus i wouldn't call it even scarier this time cause even the creepy dude was boring and don't get me start on the ending it was simply a bad sequel with really good special effects. (4/10)
Successful films RARELY turn into successful series. Even Alien, which is brilliant, only had two of the four worth watching (Alien and Aliens).The 'Poltergeist' trilogy really takes the prize for truly awful becoming truly-truly awful and insanely stupid. I can only hope nothing stays with me from THIS abysmal chapter in the series. Not to speak ill of the dead, but Heather O'Rourke truly showed her (lack of) acting here. Granted, this is the first time in the series she's been expected to really perform (beyond 'They're here' and 'They're back'...oh, and a LOT of shrieking), and she was only 12 at the time, but who would build their movie around a performance that would embarrass a drag queen?And that awful, hideous Zelda Rubenstein: 4'3 of bad voice, lard and acting. She really should have stuck with her career as a lab assistant. She might've actually made a difference to the world.Now I know special effects have come a long way since this shocker. But seriously, it all looked like goopey snot. The costumes, well, no complaints as they were part of that awful era of large, hoop earrings, gaudy coloured vests and BIG hair.
This is a very scary movie. It is not has scarier the original Poltergeist. Also Poltergeist II the Other side is also scarier. The Poltergeist remake from 2015 is also scarier. But still this a very scary movie. A lot better then A Nightmare on elm street of Silence of the lambs and a lot of other horror movie that are overrated. This movie has a get story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. If you do not get scared of this movie then no movie will scary you. All the Poltergeist movie are must sees. This one is very underrated. It is my lest f.a.v.o.u.r.i.t.e Poltergeist movie. But it is still a great movie.
I admit that this might of not been as good as the others, but it had a certain charm to it. It was a whole movie in itself. It really didn't need the back story that much. It does help to know it though. One small complaint I have is from Heather O'Rourke. In the first and second she was this cute little girl and she was tiny. So it actually made her a bit creepier at parts; even when she talked. For some reason since she is more grown up in their film, they made her talk really smart and snotty. Like she knew the whole world. But also since she was older, they could do a lot more with her in the film. The rest of the cast was pretty good. Tom Skerritt and Nancy Allen were great. Lara Flynn was OK at the time. Some of the side characters were bad actors though. Nathan Davis played an amazing Kane. He was really creepy. Now this film was great until the end. The ending was rushed to bring the film out. That is because they couldn't film the original ending since Heather O'Rourke died in real life. That had to use a double that didn't show her face and change the ending. But other than that, it really was a great film for a horror type season.
