Poltergeist

The characters are all wrong, the dialogues are all wrong, it screams poorly scripted, no emotional connection could be seen between one another. Scenes were badly shot. I could tell how badly staged some of their stunt scenes were. This movie is poor at best. Don't waste your time.

Say what you like about Steven Speilberg, but he knows how to construct a spellbinding story. This remake has none of the magic that made the original so compelling. I kind of tuned out a few minutes into the film, when I saw one of the children look at horror images, on a tablet. Why did they bother with this remake?

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.

When I first found out they were remaking Poltergeist I was horrified. This was the horror I grew up loving and basically compared any and all other horrors to. However, when I watched the trailer I was left thinking: "Okay - good trailer. Clown doll literally freaked me out. Maybe this is worth a try." Worth a try. That's what I'll say for this film. In no way do I think it is better than the original, however, I wasn't totally offended by it. To me, it was the same story just set in 2015, and completely made for a 2015 audience, if that makes sense? So incredibly tech-heavy, whether it was the products used in the film itself, or the CGI used to create the film. I was still entertained throughout, and creeped out by some things, so in its way it did its job. But, for now and forever I will always tell someone to watch the original over the remake. There is no contest in my eyes which one is the better Poltergeist film.

Remember when audiences were satiated with the foreplay of story telling? Audiences today want all the action right up front, with no substance what so ever, or at least that's what the studios would have you believe. This remake is awful in every sense of the word. No drama, no tension, no emotion, no story telling. This throws everything worthy from the original movie into the trash, and goes right for the 'jump scare'... Bad acting, bad soundtrack, and really bad CGI make this movie a complete waste of good popcorn. I'm sure the teens of the new MTV generation will love it, and THIS will be the version that every one will refer to for eons to come, which is too bad, because the original will always be the better version by far. Avoid this movie like the plague.

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.

Poltergeist is an impressive horror movie and is a good remake of the original movie. It does not deserve the hate.This movie is imperfect,but does not have errors.You will find good acting and great direction. The cinematography was lovely and the movie was entertaining from beginning till the end. Remember that Poltergiest (2015) was a successful movie all over the world. Some hate reviews don't necessarily mean that this movie is bad. I recommend seeing this lovely family movie. Kennedi Clements is sweeter than sugar and is so talented too. I am quite sure you're gonna love this amazing movie.
