C. Fuchs quote iconThose 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.

Tomatometer quote iconPaying 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.
