Solid sequel, works just as well as the first, even if it's not reviewed as well for some reason. Reverend Kane is such a great, iconic villain. The cast of the family is so engaging and real, they're what make these movies work as well as they do.

There's two great things about this movie: Julian Beck, and the creature effects. Everything else ranges from forgettable to "stinking pool of filled diapers".

Admittedly, I was harsher on the original Poltergeist than most reviews. It felt extremely dated (it is 40 years old after all) and lacked any truly defining character to me. The sequel did the same, but less. It feels like a noble sequel of its time. Returning characters, similar plot, but ultimately lacking in various areas. I feel if you like the first a lot, you will find this serviceable. If you are like me and didn’t love the first, this one
won’t be for you either.

Rating: 2/5 - 6.5/10 - Not Recommended to Everyone

I hated part 3. I mean Carol Anne was given away to her aunt and uncle ? Anyway Reverend Kane steals the show in this one.
Such a creepy performance by Julian Beck.

"There back".

The family has moved and hopes to put the terror behind them, but once again a spirit, this time in the guise of zealot Reverend Kane, has been drawn to Carol Anne.

This movie may not be as good as the first movie but I still think it's a good horror film with good practical effects.

“They’re back.” Lacking the craft of the original, Poltergeist II: The Other Side is a hokey and generic horror sequel. The story picks up with the Freelings settling into a new house and a demonic entity known as Kane coming after them. Unfortunately there’s a lot of retconning to make this plot work, and Kane is a rather stereotypical villain. Craig T. Nelson gives a really hammy performance, and the special effects are incredibly cheesy. Convoluted and clichéd, Poltergeist II: The Other Side fails to recapture the thrills and excitement of the first film.
