Poltergeist (2015)

Director: Gil Kenan

Starring: Sam Rockwell, Rosemarie DeWitt, Saxon Sharbino, Kennedi Clements

A family whose suburban home is haunted by evil forces must come together to rescue their youngest daughter after the apparitions take her captive.

Director Gil Kenan is relatively new in the director’s chair, and unfortunately it shows. This modernized telling of the classic original is neither scary nor convincing. The acting was merely ok and the effects so-so. I’d rather watch the original ten times over than to watch this remake a second time.
