I didn't mind the first sequel..it was alright. Kind of lost its way a few times. Pass on P.3.

Sure, if you like the original's basic theme/story. Both sequels are creepy, and decent for Horror films (still P3 was poor for a general film).

They both are not anywhere close as good as the 82 original though (which is a masterpiece). They are more nightmarish, crude (not nasty, rather as in simple), lacking a subtle touch in family relationships and cinematic directing flare.

Both sequels are written and directed by different writers/directors than the original, so you can't expect the same thing.

What do you mean "nightmarish"? I'll give it a watch eventually but jw if anyone really liked them.

They are both less realistic. Poltergeist 82 did a superior job at presenting a very realistic feel of the paranormal experience, along with everything happening making sense and having a reason. The sequels are more storybook, and present things that aren't always related to the plot or 'the paranormal reality', so to speak.

And personally, I didn't like either sequel, naturally compared to the original. The 2nd one had many entertaining aspects, & was definitely it's own story. The 3rd, I recall, as many do, as having annoying aspects. As I recall, spends a lot of time in a nightmarish realm. Fan's of Hellraiser & Elm St sequels might appreciate the style.
