Poltergeist (2015)
8/10
Entertaining to watch, not what I expected
5 September 2015
I remember watching the original Poltergeist movies when I was younger and after watching them I could not sleep at night. Idk what was with them but they were truly scary. This movie was also pretty scary but I can go to sleep at night without any nightmares or bad dreams (which I am happy with). It isn't that it was a bad movie it definitely wasn't and if you haven't seen it I would recommend it... but it isn't something I am going to keep thinking about.

If you want to watch this so that you just cannot sleep for the next few days then this movie is not for you. If you want to watch it though to see very cool special effects, get scared when watching it (the first half), and to be engaged in an "original" horror movie idea then this is for you! Original of course being it is different than most horror movies other than its original counterpart. Mostly the movie is entertaining moreso than scary.

The scenes in the movie were very well directed, acted, and edited. I really liked how the special effects were done. The movie didn't look all CGI but it did have good scenes well edited. It also had a good pace to it and I was left with wanting more.

In conclusion, Poltergeist (2015) is a very good horror movie for 'our time'. It has good acting, good effects, and a good "original" story. If you like horror movies this is for you BUT it isn't something you are going to have a hard time forgetting. If you haven't seen it watch it! If you have seen it watch it again as it is very entertaining unlike most horror movies nowadays.
