Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Shooterboss (2) on 22 May 2015

The only problem with this mediocre remake is that it fails to live up to its genre…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Filmphonic (58) on 22 May 2015

Sticking almost religiously to the original, this version of ‘Poltergeist’ cuts down the lead-in and updates the visual effects to give…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Haithamb (101) on 22 May 2015

Poltergeist is well - shot but not well - realized as a remake. It is not particularly bad, it is entertaining…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Miggyd (3) on 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…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Matt Brunson (2,422) for Creative Loafing (2,337) on 22 May 2015

It doesn't even seem like a remake of Poltergeist as much as it feels like The Conjuring 2, Insidious: Chapter 3 or Paranormal Activity 33-1/3…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Nick Rogers (786) for The Film Yap (559) on 22 May 2015

Its slight pleasures are more indicative of Gil Kenan's plea for time off from Movie Jail for good behavior than his directorial skills…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By David Keyes (623) for Cinemaphile.org (616) on 22 May 2015

As far as exterior circumstances go, one wonders if the most tragic sacrifice was supplying this material with voices too passive to suggest…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Zeba Blay (27) for Digital Spy (1,161) on 21 May 2015

Much like ancient cemeteries, exhume classic horror films at your peril…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Clark Collis (94) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 21 May 2015

The only really frightening thing about the 2015 version of Poltergeist is how haunted it is by the original…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Kyle Smith (1,916) for New York Post (6,650) on 21 May 2015

This serviceable remake sticks fairly closely and smartly to the same plot, with the same scary objects and even the line, “They’re here.”…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Mark Olsen (451) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 21 May 2015

The new Poltergeist is a pleasant enough diversion, better as a low-simmer suspense story than a full-blown effects extravaganza…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Neil Genzlinger (512) for The New York Times (9,847) on 21 May 2015

All in all there’s not much to complain about here, except that — as with a lot of revisited classics — the story’s not as revolutionary…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Phil Hoad (110) for The Guardian (2,969) on 21 May 2015

It’s a shame Kenan can’t muster his own bit of gothic shorthand for post-credit crunch America, but the film still has a fluid, 3D-orientated…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Eddie Goldberger (9) for New York Daily News (5,623) on 21 May 2015

It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but Poltergeist is a solid, surprisingly effective chiller…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Drew Mcweeny (622) for Hitfix (861) on 21 May 2015

Poltergeist is professional and slick and entirely fine. It's also unnecessary in every way…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Kate Erbland (681) for The Playlist (3,871) on 21 May 2015

There are some chills to be had here, but they taper out exactly when the action should really be ratcheting up, and the film’s tension burns…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 21 May 2015

The most retro thing about the remake is its specific, outdated utility: If anyone still patronizes video stores with hard copies, and if those…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Alan Scherstuhl (679) for Village Voice (8,525) on 21 May 2015

The remake grows less interesting as it goes, with final scares dipping into surprising lameness…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Bilge Ebiri (1,050) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 21 May 2015

If you’re going to remake Poltergeist without the whole TV angle, Insidious already kind of did that…

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 21 May 2015

Ultimately, the whole affair is forgettable. The original film was promoted with the tagline It knows what scares you…
