Poltergeist remake

[great_chandel]

The remake looks very disappointing. Then again, you simply cannot remake a classic! Jobeth Williams, Craig T. Nelson, James Karen, etc. were all on top of their game -- perfect casting! Tobe Hooper did a great job! This is just another attempt to cash in on a franchise -- and I am sure they will!

I never saw that one but I hoped it would make a bundle because Bruce Campbell had a piece of it.

A very small piece at the end. It was more like the little extra bits in the Marvel movies.

All these remakes and reboots suck. Every movie from the 80's 'has' to be remade.

Worst part of the trailer for me is the little girl just going "they're here." instead of the iconic "They're heeeeere." Just seems so flat now and not creepy like the original.

Been seeing commercials for the Poltergeist remake lately and i'm not very impressed.

Looks to be another Amityville Horror lousy forgettable remake.

That said, I loved the original.

Was one of the first VHS's I ever bought.

Agree on that. Hollywood is just DOA with its Movies. Its like a new idea doesn't exist anymore.

I'm not a fan of modern haunted house movies because of the already mentioned overuse of CGI and classic clichés done to death, but I did half-like The Conjuring.

Half meaning the first half of the movie BEFORE the possession.

After the possession it turned into a typical bad horror movie.

Shame, because it had potential

That's exactly what I thought. Once the possession starts, it's "been there done that".

The Conjuring was every Amityville movie plus The Exorcist and half a dozen other movies all balled into one.

Watch The House of the Devil for a nice little '80s horror throwback.

We figure this will be on DVD before football training camps start, and will catch it then. It would be a nice homage to put a hulk figure in the kids room to get caught up in the poltergeist Hoover.

I really like the Evil Dead remake! It is definitely missing the charm(?) of the original, but man it's rollickin' gore fest.

The first half of the trailer for the new Poltergeist had me kinda hopeful, but then it just gets bogged down in CGI non-sense.

The original Poltergiest is so much fun right down to seeing the Vintage Star Wars figures in the movie.

Today's remakes are just trying to cash in quickly and get out. This movie is no different. I have no interest in this. I just associate this with the Paranormal Activity movies. What number are they up to on those? number 10

Yep... That's how I feel... These new ghost movies have no sense of fun... I'll stick to the original

Another pointless remake that will be forgotten as quickly as it came. What a complete waste of money.

The latest one is in a retirement home.
The poltergeist makes a lot of noise, but nobody hears it...

"Leave this house!!!!"
"What is he saying? Speak up, young man!!!!"
