This remake of Spielberg's 1982 "Poltergeist" provides serviceable storytelling and a charming performance from Sam Rockwell, who ignites some needed energy into this brooding product. "Poltergeist" is so boring. Never is there an effective scare; not even an effective shitty jump scare! The buildup moderately fleshes out the characters but is almost completely devoid of tension. Many of the original's most memorable moments feel disappointing this time around, especially the uttering of "They're here." This is just another butchered remake from Hollywood.
