Quick Hit

Poltergeist slides in like a supernatural dread machine—fun, spooky, and never loosens its grip.

Full Take

Poltergeist leans hard into supernatural horror energy, and Tobe Hooper keeps the tone fun without letting the movie drift. It knows its lane and drives straight into the dark with style, control, and just enough mean streak. The rough edges are part of the charm.

There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.

This didn’t really land for me overall, but I can see why some people like it.
