Poltergeist III (1988)

Rate: 4
Viewed: 12/05

12/05: Okay, it's better this time around.

However, Poltergeist III is nowhere near the quality of the original. Despite the running time of ninety-eight minutes, the last twenty feels winding and boring. The shrink gets on my nerves constantly.

The script is weak in spite of some clarification in the plot, but it eventually becomes pointless. At least, the acting is better, and the special effects look improved with nice mirror tricks.

I don't understand the thing with Trish/Pat or the reason why Carol Anne was given away. It would've been nice to know what happened to her parents. Oh, what about the boy who was interested in the older girl at the end?

All in all, that's it for the Poltergeist franchise.
