A lot of fun.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

If you did not grow up with the original and are quite new to it, your going to like this new movie. The problem is : if you know the original movies very well, you start noticing this very quickly : they made a checklist of scenes from all 3 that they wanted to incorporate into this version. As if they feel obliged to include certain scene's to make it a poltergeist movie. And that makes this remake missed opportunity. Remakes...... never saw the reason to. Except making easy money.

If I hadn't seen this, I would not have missed anything. There was nothing special about this movie, it was just flat with no emotion. I give it 3 stars because the CGI effects were good. Sadly, like almost every remake of a memorable movie, this is definitely forgettable, I hope.

I only saw this one time on TV, so glad I didn't buy the dvd. This movie is a huge mistake. It sucked. It was the worst remake on the planet. It was just dumb, I don't get why anyone liked this. It was nothing like the original, it wasn't scary or creepy and the characters weren't funny in the least. The director of this needs a kick to the face for making such a piece of trash. I do not recommend it to anyone.

As a haunted house movie in it's own right or to anybody who has not seen the original this may pass as reasonable. But as a remake to the Tobe Hooper 1982 classic it falls way short. The characters just aren't deep enough to really care about and the scares are of the cheap variety. The humour doesn't really work either. Glad that I watched it free on TV instead of spending my well earned money on it.
