Review of Poltergeist (2015) by Jb B — 03 Jun 2015

I was anticipating a scary movie that rivaled the original, but I was extremely disappointed. I didn't know whether it was meant to be a comedy, a low-budget horror movie or both. It failed by all accounts.

Quality was greatly lacking in every aspect of this movie. The acting was absolutely terrible, the old and badly redone storyline was lame, and with the exception of a few scenes that were supposed to make viewers jump, it wasn't scary.

If you want to be scared, this won't do it. However, I did find myself chuckling a few times at the ridiculousness of supposedly frightening scenes. The 1 of 5 star rating that I gave this movie was generous.

I would recommend seeing something else.
