Poltergiest (the latest remake) - oh dear... another favourite from my youth utterly destroyed in favour of cheap jump scares and CGI. The original was slow paced, with lots of build up, more interest in the family, etc. This one just quickly rushes through any family stuff so it can cram in loads of slow build up shots before the obvious jump scare, then onto the CGI stuff you know is coming. Swap a few characters round from male to female and vice versa and there's your remake. Pathetic. Didn't care one bit about any of them, never really had time to care as it seems to go like this: new house, meet the family, ghostly happenings, bring the experts in... all in about 20 minutes. And where the f**k were the neighbours. They never met or saw anyone else yet live in a huge housing estate. When all the nasty starts happening, no one appears. Seriously, kids getting munched by a tree and the nearest neighbour is a few feet away, but no one comes out to wonder what all the screaming is. Even when the house explodes. Are they all just so used to it they ignore it? Anyway, go watch the original and avoid this turkey. I'll say it again, they'll remake Die Hard... I gaurantee it!
