As I sat in the cinema watching Poltergeist, I felt very despairing, and not just about the current state of modern cinema. This occurred to me as the opening cutesy scenes establish the modern American family. In the original film there's a scene where the husband and wife, having put the children to bed, share a joint and have a laughing fit when they're interrupted by one of their children who's afraid of the storm. They quickly butt out the roach and dutifully allay the boy's fears before settling him back down. I tried to imagine such a scene today and couldn't. If two parents were shown to be recreational drug users they couldn't possibly also be good parents. They'd…
So do the neighbors just not see any of this?
(I actually didn't hate this. Full review: screencrush.com/poltergeist-remake-review/)
At one point, a realtor asks Sam Rockwell where he works and he goes, "John Deere." And the realtor says, "Oh, I really like that company" and then Sam Rockwell is like, "Well, I don't give a shit cuz they fired me."
Well, maybe don't tell people you still work there if it's such a sore issue, Sam Rockwell.
This does not need an outstanding original to be as awful as it is. It can do that all on its own.
There is simply nothing there. No suspense, no creativity, no connection to the characters, no frights, no acting (Rockwell isn't acting, he just being Rockwell having a laugh I'm sure), no momentum, no originality, no cleverness, no fun. Nothing.
Well that's not entirely true. There's the shit.
The shit that makes directors forget that they're making their own film instead of trying to copy/paste iconic moments, the shit that makes directors CGI horny, the shit that makes people think 'contemporize' equals generic mediocrity, the shit that makes shit stink.
Faultershite indeed.
Did people in the Amish community write the script?
There is no logical explanation as to why I decided to view this crummy remake when the average rating/general opinion of this picture was that of putrefaction. If there’s any solace in my lousy decision-making, the warning can be spread to avoid the film. BTW, it was decided to view this before revisiting the OG Poltergeist the previous night.
The Freeling family in 1982 were effortlessly charming. They were typical and the parents smoking pot was not a big deal, as they must have started during the hippie era of the late 60’s. It was a loving bunch and no one was irritating. The Bowen family here, in contrast… the very…
Not one of my brother saying this shit was good and scary as hell 🤧😭😭
I was even yawning multiple times during this awful mess. No suspense, no creativity, no frights, no strong acting, no originality, no cleverness, no connection to the whole characters, no fun, no points, nothing. What a shame. BYE 💀💀💀
What do y'all expect peers?? Ya better watch Dora to clear your skin and add some creativities ✨🕺
P.s. : the original one is way BETTER
It's here... and it sucks
I still have no idea why they did a remake on Poltergeist and why Hollywood keeps making remakes in the first place. These just no point and it anyone's me that these people think they can top the original but always fail because you can't top the original unless your John Carpenter and you made The Thing then yeah good job you somehow top the original. But I also curious of how this was going to turn, I mean Hollywood must have learned from they mistakes by now by not adding any stupid CG monsters or loud jump scares. After seeing the movie I'm still not impressed.
The only good thing in this movie was…
