Review of Poltergeist (2015) by Jamess — 29 Sep 2015
Oh what a difference 30 years makes. The Poltergeist remake is almost 25 minutes shorter than the original, as though todays audiences didn't have the attention spans to get some character development before the jump scares and special effects kick in.
Sam Rockwell and Rosemarie DeWitt are excellent actors, but they're given slivers of character to work with in sacrifice of the next plot point that has to be rushed to. LIke the recent remakes of Carrie or Robocop, they're not bad movies, just absolutely unnecessary.
