Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe back story given by Mrs Blankenship about the haunted house the Prescott family move into is based on the real life case of Mudhouse Mansion. Mudhouse is located in Fairfield County, Ohio, United States, just east of the city of Lancaster. It is said to have been built in the 1870s. Incidents that allegedly occurred at the property include those mentioned in the film - the murder of a slave owner's family and a mass suicide by a family who later moved into the Mansion. Mudhouse Mansion has not been occupied since the 1930s and to this day is abandoned and remains closed to the public.
Update: Mudhouse Mansion, which was in fact occupied as recently as the 1960s, was demolished on September 21, 2015. All that remains are the stories. Despite local legend, no murders or suicides were ever confirmed to have occurred there.

Featured review
The only activity that takes place here is the increasing boredom...
Truth be told, then I made it no more than 30 minutes into the ordeal that is also known as "Poltergeist Activity". Indeed, the movie was just that unfathomably boring. I just simply gave up and threw the towel in the ring out of sheer and complete boredom.
I was initially lured in to watch this movie given that it was a ghost movie with some poltergeist activity - hence the name, duh! But wow, was this a swing and a miss. 30 minutes into the movie and still nothing had happened, aside from a dysfunctional family consisting of a father and daughter having moved into a new house and were just stumbling about with any direction or meaning.
I didn't even care one bit about any of the characters in the movie, because they were showing as much charisma as watered down cardboard cut-out characters would. And the dialogue in this movie didn't really help promote the entertainment value either.
As for the acting, well I didn't really see anything noteworthy, and I am sure that it was the result of having nothing worthwhile to work with in terms of script, direction and storyline. The actors and actresses here just simply had nothing to work with.
"Poltergeist Activity" came and went without leaving a dent or even the tiniest of scratches in anything. And I can honestly say that I have no intention of ever returning to watch the rest of the movie at any time in the future, because the movie just had nothing to offer.
I am rating "Poltergeist Activity" a mere two out of ten stars, solely because it did have some production value to it, at least. But when it comes to it, don't waste your time, money or effort on "Poltergeist Activity", because it quite simply just isn't worth it. It seemed that even whatever poltergeist was supposed to be appearing in this movie even was fleeing at full speed away from this stinker of a movie...
