Poltergeist III (1988)
Country: US
Technical: col 98m
Director: Gary Shearman
Cast: Tom Skerritt, Nancy Allen, Heather O'Rourke
Synopsis:
Staying with her aunt and uncle in their hi-tech, high-rise home, Carol Anne is again beset with paranormal visitations that seem to centre on mirrors as their trans-substantiation point.
Review:
Tired and repetitious return to the screaming wraiths and squeaky-voiced medium of the earlier films; after a promising opening involving relocation to what looks like Chicago, it quickly relies upon a succession of rack-focus and mirror effects for its frissons, and sets and bodies de- and re-constitute themselves with disarming regularity (no pun intended), leading to indifference. As a macabre footnote, shortly afterwards young Heather was claimed from us for real by her father's familial murder and suicide.
