Review of Poltergeist (2015) by Lee H — 18 Jun 2015
Easily the most awkwardly shot, edited, and performed film I have seen in a handful of years. The poor CGI took me out of the movie such that the theatre staff might as well have just unplugged the projector. As expected, the child actors were not quite up to par but I can at least excuse them because they are just children, but could someone have at least show the little girl a clip of the original film so that she can say "They're here," right? A line so iconic should have been treated with dignity if anything. The first half star is awarded to the occasionally humorous performance of Sam Rockwell. The other belongs to the reference of the original Poltergeist, best part of the entire movie.
Overall rating: **facefalm through the skull**.
