Poltergeist (2015)

If you're stingy about remakes, stop reading now and stay far away from this movie.


Okay now that the basics are gone, this was actually a good movie. Good. Not great. It's obviously more inspired by the likes of Insidious than the original Poltergeist, which does make this significantly different than the original. It's certainly not a shot-for-shot remake. The first act is really busy with a lot of scares popping out at you like a haunted house at a carnival, but some of them are very well constructed. After calling the paranormal investigators, it does become significantly more tame. It's never boring, but the scares die down after the 30 minute mark. The scares also get a little more intelligent. There's one scene in particular involving a drill that could rival anything from the original movie. It's a very scary and clever scene that is certainly the most memorable part of the movie. The performances from a majority of the cast are very good, especially Sam Rockwell. What surprised me most was the last 15 minutes. It went a direction I certainly didn't expect, and it ended the movie very well. The biggest problem with this movie is that it is underwhelming for the most part, and the short running time doesn't allow the viewer to really connect to the family. Poltergeist is still a satisfying and worthy remake of the classic; just don't expect to lose any sleep over it.

7/10

Dieter Laser is FUCKING INSANE. If anything, watch this for his performance. The second film is still my favorite.

Ghosts Don't Exist 2010



Mediocre. The best actor was the sheriff and he wasn't used very much. I figured out the film about half way through. However it somehow kept me interested enough to finish it. The picture above has little or nothing to do with the film. I'd say watch it if you have time, just don't have high expectations. Acting wasn't very good, the main actress though can fake cry(acting I mean) very well. Also there were some unnecessary scenes and seemingly necessary scenes that weren't there. Poor job of editing in that regard.

5/10

Only a little bit.
I imagine the same thing happens in the other two movies.

I don't watch trailers either.
They usually give away too much. I like to be totally suprised when I'm going to watch a movie.

British home invasion film and yes, there were pig masks. It was shot entirely at night and the cinematography was beautiful.
