Poltergeist III

About This Movie

Poltergeist III takes a different route from its predecessors, trading suburban hauntings for the claustrophobic confines of a high-rise. Directed by Gary Sherman, this entry leans heavily into the surreal, creating a disorienting atmosphere that mirrors Carol Anne's own sense of isolation. The pacing feels off-kilter, building tension in a way that sometimes leaves you hanging but ultimately adds to the dread. The practical effects are notable, especially in their interplay with the glass and mirrors of the building, giving a unique twist to the ghostly encounters. There’s an unsettling edge to Kane's relentless pursuit of Carol Anne, portrayed with a creepy intensity. It’s a mood piece that reflects themes of entrapment and fear of the unknown, making it a distinct chapter in the series.
