Bryan Lienesch | 69 | - While it ups the horror ante from the original, it is almost a story point by story point facsimile of the original. Which begs the obvious question...why would you not just watch the original? |

Minnesota Man | 50 | - Totally unnecessary. (full review) |

Sober Film Critic James Brown | 43 | - Poltergeist just happens to be the very brand I associate with marathons on Syfy back in the day, not with a franchise ready to be brought back to life on the big screen. Unfortunately for me and for plenty of other moviegoers, I was right. (full review) |

Lisa Marie Bowman | 40 | - It's always good to see Sam Rockwell and Rosemarie DeWitt but the film is pointless. (full review) |
