Same situations, different characters. "Poltergeist III" follows the events mainly from part 1 but this time the setting is a modern, all crystal huge building where once again Heather O'Rourke is tormented by ghosts. That's all you need to know. Oh, and Zelda returns once again.
Some scenes are suspenseful because of the setting and camera angles. But I have to be honest; "Poltergeist III" is all about false scares (cheap!), and putrid acting. The f/x are disappointing. The director deserves some recognition because he created a visually stunning Horror/Sci-Fi flick. But that is not enough in order to create a good ghost movie. The movie is rather filled with cursing! and the name Carl Anne.
The f/x are not even decent as I stated, not even half as good as in the original or even in part II. This was a sad excuse for earning money. The franchise was okay with two movies but ambitious producers came up with a sequel that only a few remember.
I wouldn't recommend it but Heather O'Rourke worths the watch (although she's a bit annoying) Come on, the last scene where she gives her life for her new family is rather cheesy. Oh, by the way, a midget dressed as possessed Caroline has to be the scariest feature in the movie.
That's it. Don't waste your money on this one, wait until it airs on cable. This time the series went too far...and went to hell!
A mediocre sequel with ridiculous false scares.
