Review

"If I'm being as objective as possible, I know that the movie just doesn't measure up to the truly classic first film. There's no doubt about that... But this doesn't matter. Poltergeist II is fun, not just the usual, so-bad-it's-good variety of horror film fun — though it is that, occasionally — but actual fun. You can't help but enjoy how ridiculously far out it's willing to go while still remaining completely straight-faced. What other film features a tequila worm monster, killer braces, a levitating chainsaw, and the wackiest failed doomsday prophet this side of Harold Camping?" - Casey Broadwater, Blu-ray.com
