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)
... View MoreCarol Ann is sent by her parents to live in a Chicago high rise with her aunt (Nancy Allen, Carrie) and uncle (Tom Skeritt, Alien), Carol Ann discovers she must now face demons more frightening than ever before. Led by the Reverend Kane, the spirits have moved from invading homes to taking over an entire skyscraper.IF you have a drinking game and took a drink every time somebody says "Carol Ann" you will be die of alcohol poisoning.The film has a bad plot and stupid dialog. It's not scary or even worth $1. If someone were to make another Poltergeist film I doubt it would be as abd as this!
... View MoreIt looked pretty eighties. The use of practical effects was fantastic as everything looked so real! The use of mirrors must have been a nightmare to film. The ghost world scenes looked especially good. The movement was nice but some cuts were a little jarring. The sound was mostly good. Some of the vocal filters used were a bit extreme. The music was subtle and good. Shame it was stereo but it wasn't such a big deal. It was a little cheesy. The acting (or possibly direction) was not that great and they seemed like they were reading lines most of the time. The ending felt very forced and rushed. I liked the theme of mirrors instead of a TV but overall it is obviously the weakest of the trilogy although never boring so ultimately entertaining and that is what you want, right? Easily the weakest of the trilogy but still an entertaining conclusion.
... View MoreI've watched all 3 Poltergeist films and my obvious favorite is the first one. The 2nd one has problems but this one I actually liked.The setting in the high rise building offers a unique setting for this story and actually has some very creepy moments. Many hallucinations are experienced by the characters in the film but they also encounter some creepy moments with mirrors and this works well here. Why do mirrors in films seem strange? I like the fact that the characters wander all over the place within the building and also liked the fact that total strangers were sucked in to what was happening with the family. Some unique scenes in this film.The acting isn't bad but it does have a low budget feel to it at times. Also, some of the reaction shots didn't quite fit. Nothing wonderful here but much better than the 2nd sequel.
