Paying competent homage without adding anything of real value to the original Poltergeist, this remake proves just as ephemeral (but half as haunting) as its titular spirit.

Though Rockwell and DeWitt give the material their own likable spin, most of the story mechanics will be familiar to anyone who has seen the original Poltergeist. September 14, 2018 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

Director Gil Kenan ruins the pacing with too many half-baked, awkwardly staged horror set pieces, but the cast acquit themselves well enough. May 28, 2015 | Full Review…

Remaking the 1982 horror film Poltergeist wasn't necessarily a bad idea, but this new version feels like too little, too late. May 28, 2015 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

The remake has been engineered in broadly the right carnival spirit. It should shift a lot of popcorn, if nothing else. May 27, 2015 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

There's little doubt that nostalgia played a part in Fox's decision to remake Poltergeist, but that's a poor reason for any film's existence and no excuse for how uninspired Gil Kenan's re-imagining of this one turned out. May 24, 2015 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

It's not exactly a scary film, but it does provide an enjoyable ride. It's good fun. But it left me befuddled. A little sad. And a little angry. May 22, 2015 | Full Review…

Poltergeist isn't one of those remakes that pisses on the corpse of the original, but it doesn't do much with the framework either. July 5, 2020 | Rating: C- | Full Review…

'Poltergeist' is a bland film that avoids committing any possible stupidity, but also lacks any kind of particularity beyond the aspects necessary for the action to take place today. [Full Review in Spanish] May 14, 2020 | Full Review…

Rockwell and DeWitt are solid and there's fresh blood in this reboot at first. Yet, the dependency on lazy scare tactics neuter this reboot, making you yearn for the original. May 10, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…
