Everyone is saying that Poltergeist II was great but the third was awful. I tend to think the reverse. I first watched all three Poltergeist movies when I was eight. I was too afraid to go in front of mirrors for weeks after watching the third movie. Cheesy special effects, sure... but it is much more frightening than Poltergeist II which I thought was a joke. To this day, Poltergeist III remains one of my favorites. I'm still afraid of mirrors because of it and I'm now an adult!
