Leave your thoughts about Poltergeist III.
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonPoltergeist III is another sequel that seems to exist for no better reason than justifying its title and number. |
| Cinemaphile.orgDavid KeyesAmong the well-known of legendary bad movies, Poltergeist III is a sequel with more scope and perspective than most. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...falls right in line with its entirely underwhelming predecessor... |
| Film ThreatPete Vonder HaarI recall two emotions from seeing this: sadness at seeing Heather O'Rourke (who died during filming); and intense discomfort from the 12-pack of beer my friend and I chugged in the parking lot before going to see this |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinPoltergeist III suffers from bad casting and from the actors' having been encouraged to behave as if sampling an exciting new toothpaste; everyone smiles unreasonably, except when screaming. |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrPoltergeist at this point is a brand name without a distinctive product to sell-no vivid characters, no unique situations, no look or meaning of its own. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonGary Sherman, the film's cowriter and director, has set up a showcase for scary effects, and some of them are rather nice, in a grisly sort of way. It's clear that Sherman knows how to engineer this sort of thing. What's also clear is that without some semblance of an actual movie around them, these pyrotechnics really start to get on your nerves. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barbara AarsteinsenThe second sequel to the hit 1982 haunted-house extravaganza is an erratic affair, containing some promising ideas and clever effects that, unfortunately, are haphazardly presented in a narrative so perfunctory as to be almost nonexistent. |
| About.comFred TopelOkay follow-up. The mirror stuff is cool. |
| House Next DoorEric HendersonAt its best, Poltergeist III recalls that surreal mix of DIY ingenuity and narrative ineptitude that mark some of Lucio Fulci’s lesser efforts. At its worst, well, it’s just another soulless, hacky-tacky horror sequel. |
