To me, this movie is perfection.

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Good start, but then it gets ruined

A lot of fun.

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.

If you remember and love the original, DO NOT watch this one. It is pretty awful. Hurried and all hacked up.

POLTERGEIST is another pointless remake of a classic horror film which they didn't have a hope of improving upon. The only difference between the two films are some artificial changes in which the story is 'updated' with needless modern technology including drones and tablets, none of which adds anything to the story. As expected, it starts out subtly but descends into the usual CGI-augmented nonsense come the climax, and the story in between has no heart or depth at all. The scares are anything but frightening, and the low quality is rounded out by the generally poor performances, from a slumming-it Sam Rockwell (you can tell his heart isn't really in it) to the mildly embarrassing kids, and Jared Harris chewing the scenery. This isn't the worst remake out there, and if you hadn't seen the original I can imagine you might find the story interesting, but for everyone else, it's really not worth your time.

I actually created this account just to make this review. I've never ever seen such a bad acting Seriously the (Dad) is trying to be so cool all time so it gets embarrassing. His walking like his a bodybuilder and got this rough hard attitude against his family members so its just make you wanna crawl out of the skin AWFUL: Same with the mother absolutely ZERO actress and their dialog are so unnatural like their reading it from a book. Alsom their expressions doesn't fit what they're saying at all.There's not even ONE moment where i even get a little scared all is so predictable.I cant believe they got the permission to do a remake of this (cult movie) Don't see it just keep you're memories from the original MOvie.Im honestly stunned how bad the (Parents) are its like a Joke.
