Review of Poltergeist (2015) by Miggyd — 22 May 2015

I recommend this film not for Horror fans simply because it's not particularly frightening but follows the tried and true jump scare formula which works well and thankfully they don't overuse it.

What I enjoyed most about this flick was the dialogue. There was a very natural flow between the parents and the children. It all felt very genuine not at all cliche in the sense of "What was that, you're crazy, save my family! we have to defeat the demon!" The only time the film gets weird in the delivery was once the focus shifted outside of the family but not to worry it only lasts a few minutes and doesn't kill the experience.

Adorable children, appalling teenager and parents reacting accordingly with a supernatural offender(s) bringing them all together.

As far as comparing the original to this version I won't even bother. It's a modern take on an old story with a tweak here and there.
