Poltergeist (2015) DVD streaming

 

Made the mistake of taking the family to see this pitiful remake. The whole production felt like they were going through the motions.

I usually don't take the bait on remakes, but I gave it a shot. At least the popcorn was expensive and soda flat. The wife and kids thanked me for two hours wasted.

The director had no idea how to build any type of suspense. The tree scene? How do you manage to make that scene boring? The original film was handled by pros. You could feel the anxiety and fear coming from the boy as he counts off the thunderclaps.

The clown? Another wasted effort. The original clown scene was one of the scariest ever. This one, not so much.

There was no emotion from anyone! Was mom on Prozac?
