Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Ali López (22) for Butaca Ancha (324) on 24 Jun 2015

Nothing will surprise you if you've seen the original, but it will keep you on the edge of your seat. [full review in Spanish]…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Antagony & Ecstasy (1,911) on 19 Jun 2015

At its best, the film is a conspicuously less-good version of a thing that exists in a perfectly fine iteration…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Linda Cook (1,442) for KWQC-TV (Iowa) (236) on 09 Jun 2015

Poltergeist' is yet another decent remake that's a reimagining of a 1980s classic…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Glenn Dunks (375) for Glenn Dunks (46) on 06 Jun 2015

Instead of a reboot that takes advances in technology, the ever-expanding suburban sprawl or a clear audience desire for haunted houses, we're…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Todd Jorgenson (1,852) for Cinemalogue.com (1,236) on 28 May 2015

It might thrill those who haven't seen Hooper's original version, but there's no reason not to go back and find that one instead…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Sarah Ward (538) for Trespass (429) on 27 May 2015

Rockwell, DeWitt and Adams will hopefully find the forthcoming, unrelated Digging for Fire a better showcase for their on-screen presence,…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Peter Galvin (80) for sbs.com.au (697) on 27 May 2015

Remakes aren't always a bad idea. Even a creative re-think isn't out of order…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Jake Wilson (570) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 27 May 2015

Remaking the 1982 horror film Poltergeist wasn't necessarily a bad idea, but this new version feels like too little, too late…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By William Goss (413) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 26 May 2015

Makes largely cosmetic changes to the material without offering much in the way of distinctive frights…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Steve Wright (13) for SciFiNow (378) on 26 May 2015

This is essentially the same movie, mostly shorn of the former's shock value…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By James Kendrick (1,607) for Q Network Film Desk (1,607) on 26 May 2015

Puts plenty of new spins on the familiar beats of the story, but their relevance must have wound up somewhere on the cutting room floor…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 25 May 2015

There's something missing and it becomes apparent early on. The movie isn't scary - not even a little bit…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Susan Granger (2,214) for SSG Syndicate (1,551) on 25 May 2015

Creepy and contrived, it's a nostalgic yet totally unnecessary remake…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Rob Hunter (276) for Film School Rejects (1,198) on 24 May 2015

It's so busy rushing to match or exceed the original's iconic beats that it neglects to create any of its own…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Dominic Corry (151) for Flicks.co.nz (982) on 23 May 2015

A hearty reminder of how much more effective a film like this can be when you actually care about the characters…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Jon Espino (144) for The Young Folks (1,024) on 23 May 2015

Poltergeist has too many skeletons in the closet, but unfortunately none of them add up to a particularly scary film…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Mark Kermode (1,002) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 23 May 2015

Monster House director Gil Kenan doesn't desecrate the grave of the original, but nor does he offer any convincing reason to raise it from the dead…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Matt Brunson (2,422) for Creative Loafing (2,337) on 22 May 2015

It doesn't even seem like a remake of Poltergeist as much as it feels like The Conjuring 2, Insidious: Chapter 3 or Paranormal Activity 33-1/3…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Nick Rogers (786) for The Film Yap (559) on 22 May 2015

Its slight pleasures are more indicative of Gil Kenan's plea for time off from Movie Jail for good behavior than his directorial skills…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By David Keyes (623) for Cinemaphile.org (616) on 22 May 2015
