Poltergeist 3D (2015) | Ratings & Reviews

"An act of homage that hews reverently to its source material while missing the essential spirit and vitality that once powered it."

—

Variety

"Very tame, but saved from the remake scrapheap by Sam Rockwell's surprisingly touching performance and a final reel that - briefly - takes the material somewhere new."

—

Total Film

"This has more in common with slick, audience-goosing modern spookers like 'Insidious' than with Hooper & Spielberg's imaginative original."

—

Time Out

"It’s a scare machine, and in this respect Kenan’s is the more efficient telling..."

—

The Telegraph

"It’s a shame Kenan can’t muster his own bit of gothic shorthand for post-credit crunch America, but the film still has a fluid, 3D-orientated immediacy."

—

The Guardian

"Not only delivers on the promise of Hooper's Poltergeist, but significantly raises the stakes for similar PG-13 fare."

—

Hollywood Reporter

"A disappointingly tame and unimaginative effort, which throws away much of what was best-loved about the original and fails to find worthy replacements."
