ScreenIt C. Fuchs Those who never saw the original might think this is awesome, but for those of us who found the '82 pic as a welcome return to scares of old and a respite from the barrage of boogeyman slasher films that preceded it by a few years, this is much ado about nothing that needed to be rebooted in the first place. | 8 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Paying competent homage without adding anything of real value to the original Poltergeist, this remake proves just as ephemeral (but half as haunting) as its titular spirit. | 6 | |
