One of the more effectively spooky and financially successful horror films of the '80s got an inevitable sequel with this effects-heavy installment. The Freeling family is trying to grapple with the devastation wrought by the ghosts and ghouls that destroyed their lives. The insurance company doesn't believe their story about what happened to their house, so Steve (Craig T. Nelson), Diane (JoBeth Williams), and their kids, Carol Anne (Heather O'Rourke) and Robbie (Oliver Robins), have been

Seems like a string of special effects held together by a far-fetched story line with an unsatisfying sticky-sweet ending.
They don't come much more ridiculous...
As needless a sequel as one could envision...
Terribly disjointed and dramatically unfulfilling.
Nothing is as scary as the first flick, but still...this one has some chills.
worth it
This sequel, sans Spielberg but obedient to his spirit, simply fails to regenerate the original's gut-grinding fears...
Crushing tediousness.
An outrageously scary sequel.....a true horror classic
Salutes family solidarity in the face of evil forces.
Slightly entertaining, even though most of it sucks.
If you've seen the first one there's a lingering sense of déja vu about it all.
Kane: You're all gonna die in there! All of you! You are gonna die! "They're back."Poltergeist is a great film and one of my favorite horror films of all-time. Like all great horror films before and after it, there must be sequels. They have to capitalize on successful stuff and I don't mind that. I love watching

Okay there are some scarier part in this movie more than the first one. But I actually laughed at the end. Well it's pretty old movie so nothing advanced was expected at that time. I'm sure there were a lot of people was scared by seeing this.
