Excerpt: Poltergeist has too many skeletons in the closet, but unfortunately none of them add up to a particularly scary film. Despite the great talent and even greater source material, this film came off as a shallow phantom of its former self. Sometimes the ghosts of the past are too much to live up to in the present. With how unambitious this corpse of a film is, it would have been better if it had remained buried.

RATING: ★★★ (3/10 stars)
