Review of Poltergeist III (1988) by Kristian M — 06 Oct 2011

I admit that this might of not been as good as the others, but it had a certain charm to it. It was a whole movie in itself. It really didn't need the back story that much. It does help to know it though.

One small complaint I have is from Heather O'Rourke. In the first and second she was this cute little girl and she was tiny. So it actually made her a bit creepier at parts; even when she talked. For some reason since she is more grown up in their film, they made her talk really smart and snotty.

Like she knew the whole world. But also since she was older, they could do a lot more with her in the film. The rest of the cast was pretty good. Tom Skerritt and Nancy Allen were great. Lara Flynn was ok at the time.

Some of the side characters were bad actors though. Nathan Davis played an amazing Kane. He was really creepy. Now this film was great until the end. The ending was rushed to bring the film out. That is because they couldn't film the original ending since Heather O'Rourke died in real life.

That had to use a double that didn't show her face and change the ending. But other than that, it really was a great film for a horror type season.
