Poltergeist II / Poltergeist III

Poltergeist was one tough act to follow, but in 1986 they decided to go for it and make Poltergeist 2: The Other Side. As you could guess, it's not quite in the same league as the orginal, but it is surprisingly good for what it is. The Freeling family is now residing with Diane's mother in a peaceful little suburban home and recovering from the supernatural phenomena that took place at their home in Cuesta Verde. Life is slowly returning back to normal until grandma's death triggers the spirits once again, this time in the form of the creepy Reverand Kane, the leader of a religious cult that he led to death with his false predictions of the apocolypse.

I hate when movie companies put two movies on one cd. I hated the sequel to Poltergeist, but I actually liked the third one. So in order for me to get Poltergeist 3 on dvd, I have to get the movie I didn't like just to see the movie I want. Ugh!

Why couldn't they have made the double feature consist of Poltergeist I & II? It seems the only way to get Poltergeist II without having to pay some scalper upwards of $30 is to buy this double feature, then you get Poltergeist III which is a complete waste of film. -kd5-

I figured it to be another overhyped eighties horro-BORE fest. But I really liked it, and when this chicky told me that she liked number two even better, I checked it out. I got this set, which comes with both the second and third helpings. After reading reviews here, I was unsure I even wanted to watch them. Mainly because what I really liked about the first was the quality of the characters. As movies two and three have different writers and directors then the first, I was sure I would be dissapointed. However, the cast is pretty much fully intact in Poltergeist II, sans the oldest daughter, due to the fact that the actress was murdered in real life (-and fifty other cursed legends from behind the scenes-) but her character was rarely involved in the first movie anyw...
