Viewing Notes

Because I haven’t seen any of the Poltergeist sequels I grabbed 2+3 DVD set from the library and plopped down to watch Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986). From the get-go this became rather apparent that it was a very unnecessary sequel. It’s more of the same from the first film but missing the soul and true scare factor. It just rehashes the same ground and it never really feels like the cast is trying. Not good.
