Terribly disjointed and dramatically unfulfilling.

Reviews for Poltergeist II: The Other Side
This sequel, sans Spielberg but obedient to his spirit, simply fails to regenerate the original's gut-grinding fears...
If you've seen the first one there's a lingering sense of déja vu about it all.
Seems like a string of special effects held together by a far-fetched story line with an unsatisfying sticky-sweet ending.
