Actually very good Sequel, The scenery filmed in John Hancock building in Chicago is awesome. Tom Skerrit is great for his part, as well as Nathan Davis as Reverend Kane. It is a must see. Good Sequel= A

I disagree with those who say POLTERGEIST is dated. It was the first major horror movie to draw on the conceit of poltergeists or other unnatural objects living in the television; newer movies have more elaborate special effects, but not this film's emotional pull. JoBeth Williams leads a fine cast in this family horror show that may be too powerful for young children.

very scary make sure you watch it with a good friend because you are gonna be scared out of your mind.

Poltergeist has always been one of my favorite movies. its scary, tauntly directed, builds suspense and you really care about that family. but once the sequels started coming they slowly went down hill with part 3 being the worst. its not a bad movie but its not a good one either. they went off in a totally different direction with part three and sadly heather o rourke who played carol ann in all three died during production. the original ending (which is included here though edited) was scrapped and a reshoot was done with a double. the special features more then make up for the movie and it gives you a great insight into the making of and production. my good friend david furtney gives an audio commentary as well since he runs the ultimate poltergeist fan site. if your a fan of the movies, get this if only for the bonus content.

One of the scariest sequels I've ever seen in my life!
