Review of Poltergeist (2015) by Lukechristiansc — 03 Jun 2015

If there's one thing this film remade is the story, we do not have a background of the characters like why did they move there or why they lost their jobs the script has zero explanation. This remake uses way to much cgi, it did empress me and it's unique but what made the original fun is it's cheesy old-fashioned 80's special effects I think if this remake could make it similar.

Director Gil Kenan's direction is just slick if his visuals were close to Hooper's vision could made it work. Since Sam Raimi produced the film, I thought this movie was going to be gruesome but the movie is bland and if this was "bloodier" then it might of been fun to watch.

The acting was good, the cgi was impressive but watch the original series. Positives: the film is scary and it's entertaining, the film was watch able it tries to be a cheesy B+ movie like in the original, but if you have good screenwriters and a proper director this might have been good.

Let's talk about the closet what makes that scene good is it is mysterious and does show that under world in this modern remake it does show the world in a good way. The actress Kennedi Clements was good, but she was not good like Heather O'rourke.

The characters names are changed? Really. The film was scary it made me laugh it made me entertained through out it was exciting.
