Did not watch the original but this remake is awful. Sam Rockwell is a good actor, but it seemed like he wasn't into this one. You know a horror movie is bad when you're rooting for the ghost to kill a college student for asking dumb…
This fantasy/thriller film is probably one of the better horror movies that I have seen in awhile. A family notices strange ghost and spirit apparitions visiting them through their television screen. At the beginning the family is just…

I decided to re-watch the original 1982 classic movie, before getting into this version. I must say...there are differences and this version has more visual and CGI effects. But, overall this version was also worth watching. I would watch…
If I could, I would give this re-make a huge fat 0! What a time-waster! The CGI ghost fx were cool but not as amazing as the original ...what couldn't pop up coffins towards the end of the movie like in the original? Oh I guess that would…
Bad. Just bad. Even the fx are lame, with, what 33 year's difference in time? Watch the real one, instead. Plus, with the old one, you have the "cursed" stories, due to the real deaths of Heather O'Rourke (the stunning little girl), the…

The director of this new version of Poltergeist already had the bar set very high with the 1982 version of Poltergeist. And the new version didn't even come close. For me the whole family except the little girl didn't have much of that…

I suppose if you never saw the original then this might get a better rating from some. I was most disappointed with Sam Rockwell's " la di da" performance of things. Not very well directed in my opinion.

Worst. Remake. Ever. I got so disinterested I started doing chores around my abode. It's a total waste of an hour and a half of your life which you'll never get back.
See movie "Babadook" instead.

All things considered this was a decent remake. Most of the characters were likable and the plot followed the original faithfully. The scares were pretty standard with most of them being jump scares. One thing that I thought was missing…

A typical remake of a much better film. It's not a terrible movie but it's just not worth 90 minutes of your life to watch. A few slight scares but it just felt flat. You know what the big scenes and gags are going in, and nothing new…

Maybe I expected too much, couldn't find anything new or exciting with the latest version. If it is not too rude to say, the title itself deserves half of the revenue collected.

the family was so annoying, if they were likable, I think the Poltergeist would have left them alone, but it had to harass them to make them leave so they (the spirits) could be in peace.
stick with the original version of this…

Watch the original, it is way better than this poor excuse of a remake. Boring and pointless. I like Sam Rockwell, but not in this.

Horrible. The family was extremely annoying. It would have been a better movie if the poltergeist had taken the whole family instead of just the youngest daughter.

I was expecting it to be horrible for a remake after both what I heard and also I am usually disappointed or find the remake can't just compare. I was amazed how close to the original but also was able to keep it modern and entertaining!!
