I make an account juat to express my disgust with this movie, i cant believe Sam Rockwell read this script and accept to act in it.
The movie it so.. SO careless about the story that its almost a joke, look, they have real serious problems with a poltergeist, their daughter/sister has been caught by ghosts and they act like she is in school, the older daughter even make jokes and looks more excited about the tv guy than worried about her sister, the mother has no feelings at all, the paranormal team has zero effect to the story NONE!! They cameras, sensors, laptops, gps FOR NOTHING!! They are useless.
The story happens so fast that the director dont even care to justified how the hell or why is this happening. They act so normal that you think, if they dont give a crap about having a haunted house why should I ? They have ghost, its ok, they have a haunted house, oh its ok, they are living over an old cemetery, its ok, the little girl its dissapeared and in another dimension, oh no problem, we are gonna get her easily, nothing impress them. Even in the end, the little girl is getting grab again by the poltergeist, but the father is more worried helping the family to get out of the car. WTF!!
Horrible directing, bad acting, horrible writting, horrible cgi, stupid dialogues, and i can continue all day writing. Terrible.
I say, watch it, so you can taste the real flavor of an horrible, not horror, horrible movie. Really dissapointed. I hope this can be erased of the acting memorabilia of a fabtastic actor as Sam Rockwell is.

The only reason I didn't rate this lower is because Sam Rockwell's great; he's a character. A funny guy. Now, this movie strikes me the same as Terminator Genisys: were the filmmakers going for a satire of the original? This wasn't very scary and actually kind of funny. It made me laugh. So, I should say that it was a waste of money for wanting to see a HORROR.

I was a huge Poltergeist fan when i was a little kid and was really scared of the original movies when i saw them on TV in the late 80s or early 90s. It had everything a good movie should have. a good script, good actors, good director... this one had none of those. the actors feel unmotivated. the script was rewritten to add the typical 21century Hollywood movie formula and the director didn't know what he was doing anyway...don't watch this remake... stay with the original! its scarier anyway, even today!

Have you seen it? No? There is likely a very good reason for that...it stinks.Like nearly ALL the endless remakes and reboots that have been plaguing movie goers for the past decade or so....all this is, is a heartless version of the original.It has no heart.It has no soul.It is a retelling of a film that we all love and cherish...and it adds nothing to the story. It improves nothing but the special effects--which held up very well over time--and in some cases belittles the fans of the original...particularly in the fact that they remade the movie at all, without adding anything clever to it.Like so many other remakes it is a hallow shell of the original.
