Movie Info

Psychically attuned youngster Carol Anne (Heather O'Rourke) is sent to live in Chicago with her Uncle Bruce (Tom Skerritt) and Aunt Pat (Nancy Allen). But that doesn't mean that she's escaped the apparitions that have haunted her in the past. When she starts experiencing terrifying visions, her school psychologist believes that they're figments of her imagination. But this becomes hard to believe when ghostly foes start inhabiting the mirrors in her relatives' high-rise apartment.

"From a practical effects [perspective] ... there's a lot of really cool camera trickery...and then you have the movie. I was just left with so many questions."

Terry Mesnard
Scarred for Life
There's nothing here aside from a pure and simple cinematic emptiness. [Full Review in Spanish]

Ángel Fernández-Santos
El Pais (Spain)
Among the well-known of legendary bad movies, Poltergeist III is a sequel with more scope and perspective than most.

David Keyes
Cinemaphile.org
At its worst, well, it's just another soulless, hacky-tacky horror sequel.

Eric Henderson
House Next Door
Cheesy sequel has some suspense, supernatural violence.

Brian Costello
Common Sense Media
...falls right in line with its entirely underwhelming predecessor...

Reel Film Reviews
I recall two emotions from seeing this: sadness at seeing Heather O'Rourke (who died during filming); and intense discomfort from the 12-pack of beer my friend and I chugged in the parking lot before going to see this

Poltergeist III Quotes

Observer:	Excuse me Dr. Seaton, that little blonde girl keeps staring at the mirror, as if she sees us.
Dr. Seaton:	Do you think she can?
Observer:	No.
Dr. Seaton:	But you think she is staring straight at you.
Observer:	Yeah...
Dr. Seaton:	That seems to be one of her dubious talents, making people believe things.
