Underrated, but still not a perfect film
19 June 2020
Now before I say this film is amazing, I'm gonna say it's not. Heck it's not even great, it's only good. It's still the weakest of the poltergeist films and probably should never have been made in the first place. BUT WITH THAT SAID, this is probably as good as this movie could have possibly been. The writers knew the limitations and adjusted quite cleverly as such. Now this film was doomed to be hated from the start, with the missing parents of carol Anne, and different tone of the film compared to its predecessors. But once again, I honestly think this is about as good as this film could have possibly gotten, and I'm still impressed with it. The twist with Tom skerrits daughter and boyfriend character alone was incredible. Overall, I think the whole poltergeist trilogy is highly underrated, as all of them have there own merits. I know this review is all over the place, but what I'm saying is, if you thought that poltergeist 2 was good, give 3 a chance too, it's better than you might think.
