MCT:July 15, 2008This is almost painful, but given writer/director Gary Sherman's portfolio, one can't be too surprised. So yes, 80% of the script is simply "Carol Anne" - someone yelling it, someone crying it, whispering, screaming, or saying it mockingly...one can look past this thanks to the god awful acting, the ridiculous mirror-filled (and glaringly obvious FAKE mirror-filled) setting and of course the whole idea that Carol Anne's parents simply shipped her off to Chicago...
The major disappointment with this installment, as well as the second, was the introduction of "Kane." This lukewarm character offers no chills...in fact he doesn't contribute much of anything, and what he DID have he spent all of in the sequel. The faceless evil force of the original movie succeeds in that ever-successful method of leaving your mind to create the ultimate hellish entity.
The amazing thing is that this guy went on to make the 1989 film "Lisa" and even THAT was a step above... -
MCT:May 21, 2008The brilliance continues with this third one! Once again, with a new director in the tow.
Great performance by Zelda Rubinstein. -
MCT:May 16, 2008Not as scary as the first movie but it does end perfectly with a fitting tribute to the little girl who will always be "Here" to remind us what real horror movies are about!!!!

I really like this movie, I can watch it over and over again! I especially like Tom Skerritt and Nancy Allan as Carol-Anne's de facto parents. The only thing I don't understand is what happened to her family? Why did her mom and dad pack her off to Chicago? That was the only part I didn't like. I missed seeing them from the first movies.

MCT:April 19, 2008i really want to watch this film i have seen the other 2 i have the 2nd one on dvd i love em! wish Heather was still alive!
-
MCT:January 22, 2008I feel bad that it was the little girl's last movie but it's awful. It acts as if her parents who loved her dearly in the last 2 couldn't handle evil spirits being with her. So they dump her off to other relatives. This one is just awful and makes part 2 look fantastic.
-
MCT:December 15, 2007Freaky, cool and unique. Awesome fx. Personal classic. I could understand people hating it since it turns such an abrupt corner compared to Part 1 & 2 but comparisons aside it's a very cool movie. The mirrors! Truly frightening stuff.
-
MCT:November 13, 2007Just stupid. Doesn't have the feel of the other movies at all. Where's the original cast and storyline? A high-rise? Really? Let's leave this series alone now.

The last boring instalment in the 'Poltergeist' trilogy is by far the weakest and most lacklustre, with the only thing saving the film from total disaster being O'Rourke (who was dying from a congenital intestinal disorder during the production). The supernatural forces are back once again haunting young Carol Anne Freeling (O'Rourke, R.I.P) who has moved in with her uncle (Skeritt), aunt (Allen) and cousin (Flynn Boyle) in a high-rise apartment building. Basically the same kind of formula as the first two. The ghosts want Carol Anne and no-one will let them get her. No wonder both Craig T. Nelson and JoBeth Williams (who played the parents in the first two) didn't want to return for this rubbish. The acting is all weak with the exception of Rubinstein and O'Rourke. The direction is quite appalling as well. The effects were slightly impressive, but that's about it. The script was quite horrible as well. The film also drags on way too long and becomes drawn-out and confusing, and by the end it's impossible to keep up with what's going on. A very disappointing effort!

MCT:September 13, 2007This is still as good as the first 2 and it is a pitty the young actress dies, but then again this triology was cursed so I say you gota see this.

Strange sequel, but very dark and chilling some times. It proves Heather O'Rourke's last performance. She will be missed, cuz she was the best of this movie.

This scared the crud out of me when I was a kid, and now it just looks stupid. It actually makes me mad now. Kane just GIVES in at the end??? Come on...
-
well.... ive seen the other poltergeist movies and they absolutelutely were the bomb!! sooo.... i thought this 1 would be good 2. poltergeist movies are sooo super awesome!!
-
MCT:May 9, 2007their back...carolann has moved in with her aunt in Chicago and the poltergeist has moved with her...don't believe the downers on this film, yes heather was unwell from mystical happenings and she died whilst filming but it is still a great film i think its the best one

This was barely any good. Lots of bad acting with a weak story. You cold see the change in Heather O'Rourke in the movie. As most of us know, she died while filming this movie. Several of the actors looked like they didn't want to be there though. Just a very weak movie.

MCT:April 21, 2007
all I remember back when this was out was: they're milking these movies and I didn't even know what that meant yet!
-
MCT:April 8, 2007
Oh how pitiful. This is a franchise that they kept trying to milk long after it was dead, literally.
-
MCT:April 8, 2007
not the best of the three, but chilling because you can see what is happening to Heather O'Rourke.. she really did not look good.. and then you can see the difference when they used the double because she died... it really is sad to watch.. I think it might have been the best had that not overshadowed it..
-
MCT:March 27, 2007
Should have sent this one down the tubes instead of finishing it after Heather O'Rourke died during filming. It wasn't salvagable.
-
MCT:March 16, 2007
Has anybody else seen this sequel? It is not bad at all, even though they stripped it of it's main characters.
-
MCT:March 14, 2007
I miss Heather O'Rourke, I love this movie they hereeee hehe :D carol anne so cute I just love her xxxxxxxxxx
R.I.P. Heather O'Rourke -
MCT:March 12, 2007
They're baaaaaack again and it's the final chapter for the evil Reverend Kane and his terror followers. Cool heart-pounding suspense and scary special effects. I felt really sorry for poor innocent young actress Heather O'Rourke who died so young during filming this movie production.
-

This third and final entry in the series is pretty shallow and not scary. Althought I will admit that the special effects were actually really good.

Don't really wanna see it. I've heard stories of Heather 'O Rourke not looking very good, and dying, during filming. How sad. And they used a stunt double? Tsk, tsk...
