Movie Reviews
I should start off by saying that I'm not a die-hard fan of the original Poltergeist - I mean, I did enjoy the original, but I don't hold it in a beacon of light like some of the reviewers/critics seem to be doing. Believe it or not, the only thing I miss from the original is Tangina (the psychic medium).
I mean, yeah, this version looks like a very typical modern horror movie - the style the cinematography is very similar to the likes of Insidious or Dark Skies, but I don't know how that is avoidable without going experimental? However, I think this version does as good of a job with the storytelling as the original... if not better. I found the only annoying part of the remake to be the mom character and the forced plot lines that surrounded her made no sense.
