Critic Reviews

  • David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews

    ...falls right in line with its entirely underwhelming predecessor...

  • Pete Vonder Haar, Film Threat

    I recall two emotions from seeing this: sadness at seeing Heather O'Rourke (who died during filming); and intense discomfort from the 12-pack of beer my friend and I chugged in the parking lot before going to see this

  • Alex Sandell, Juicy Cerebellum

    Horrible. Rotten. Don't waste your time.

  • Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall

    unnecessary sequel

  • Stefan Birgir Stefansson, sbs.is

    Son of a fucking bitch. I meant to watch Exorcist 3 not Poltergeist 3. I just sat through this entire piece of suck ass. I didn't realize until it was over that I had mixed up the movie titles. Fuck me. 2 hours of my life WASTED. FUCK YOU POLTERGEIST 3!

    "Poltergeist" is one of my all time favorite movies and definitely one of the best overall horror movies I've ever seen in every way. I haven't seen "Poltergeist 2" yet, but I did finally see "Poltergeist 3" and wasn't all that impressed… More

    Not the best of the trilogy, but worth seeing if you enjoyed the other two.
