BRENDEN J Poltergeist 3 was not a great horror film at all. I thought the plot and the story were all over the place and did not make any sense at all, and the characters were not interesting or likable except for Carol Anne play by Heather O'Rourke and Tangina play by Zelda Rubinstein which they are really great actors in their other movies and also in Poltergeist (1982) and Poltergeist 2 The Other Side. But when they are acting in this film, you can definitely see that they are trying their best to make their acting really good and also try to make the movie itself good by their performance even though that the script and the story was not that good they both really tried to make their acting for those two characters really stand out so, I will give them credit for that. Also, Reverend Kane was not that scary in this movie. Like he was in the last film, they simply just made him not scary but instead goofy like very goofy, which just made his character in this movie suck. Plus, they never explain how he came back because he died in the last film because the father that was in the first and second Poltergeist movies that in the second film, the father killed him by stabbing him with a giant sword while they were in the other side to save their daughter Carol Anne. So, I just don't know why they never explain how he came back in this movie, which was just so awkward and wired. But yeah, for Poltergeist 3 is a 1 out of 5 stars because it was just a bad final installment for the trilogy, which was just very sad to see it as because I really wanted to like this because I love the first one and I really enjoyed the second one which the second one was not as great as the original one but it was still really enjoyable. But this one was not like that at all . Everything in this movie just fails completely flat, but it was nice to see Heather O'Rourke back as Carol Anne for one final time before she sadly passed away, so it was nice to see her again in this movie. Plus, I like it how, at the end, credits they put "this film is dedicated to Heather O'Rourke 1975-1988." So I thought that was very nice that they did that to pay tribute to one of the best child actor of all time.

Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/25 Full Review Farah R Although it’s the most watchable of the three, the last installment in the Poltergeist series is more of the same. It’s elevated only by the advancement of special effects technology. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/01/25 Full Review Blu B The same idea of I &II just in a skyscraper with everything done worse. What's crazy is how this just goes off a freakin cliff in the final 30-40 minutes or so when it focuses on just the two parents. Stuff just happens with no clear rhyme or reason and it becomes incoherent at a certain point. The editing & pacing are terrible with everything else subpar. It's actually shot well at certain points and Heather is the one good thing in this. We think it's going to be focused on the two daughters but than it becomes about the parents which leads nowhere. The special effects aren't bad here but they just straight make no sense. The mirrors are nowhere near as interesting as the setting of the first one. There is a ton of farfetched, plot convienent moments, and incoherent ones especially in the second half. It never is able to ramp up the pacing/tension in the slightest. At least II sort of did that. This is just dull the entire way through. The music also is super boring and becomes sort of ear grating. Skip This. Worst one the franchise and part of a franchise that shouldn't exist besides the first.
