stevipp Bad, bad, bad.... No talent, no soul, nothing added to the original and no interesting new take or re-imagining. Wasted opportunity. The comic ending was an insult! Avoid - watch the original which is a real film gem.

tantjenbertolli-cindy If you did not grow up with the original and are quite new to it, your going to like this new movie. The problem is : if you know the original movies very well, you start noticing this very quickly : they made a checklist of scenes from all 3 that they wanted to incorporate into this version. As if they feel obliged to include certain scene's to make it a poltergeist movie. And that makes this remake missed opportunity. Remakes...... never saw the reason to. Except making easy money.

shopgirl1293 I only saw this one time on TV, so glad I didn't buy the dvd. This movie is a huge mistake. It sucked. It was the worst remake on the planet. It was just dumb, I don't get why anyone liked this. It was nothing like the original, it wasn't scary or creepy and the characters weren't funny in the least. The director of this needs a kick to the face for making such a piece of trash. I do not recommend it to anyone.

Mynameisroman I was a huge Poltergeist fan when i was a little kid and was really scared of the original movies when i saw them on TV in the late 80s or early 90s. It had everything a good movie should have. a good script, good actors, good director... this one had none of those. the actors feel unmotivated. the script was rewritten to add the typical 21century Hollywood movie formula and the director didn't know what he was doing anyway...don't watch this remake... stay with the original! its scarier anyway, even today!
