Featured review
Poltergeist
They say you should never remake a classic. The original Poltergeist from 1982 was written by Steven Spielberg who also seemed to have had a hand in how it was directed.
The 2015 remake is a soulless movie that brings nothing new to the table except a few jump cuts.
If it was an innovative reimagination whose reach could not exceed its grasp I might had been more forgiving.
Sam Rockwell is an out of work father, Eric Bowen who with his wife Amy Bowen and three young kids move into a new home. The house was built in an old cemetery and the bodies were supposed to have been moved but only the headstones were.
The youngest daughter Madison feels a presence, the spirits below the house need a guide and Madison is sucked in and disappears.
The Bowens call on paranormal psychics Dr Brooke Powell (Jane Adams) and Carrigan Burke (Jared Harris) to get her back.
The only thing to note is London born Jared doing an impression of his Irish father Richard Harris.
