| | ActiveDVD: Poltergeist - Review (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | In 1988, young, iconoclastic ORourke (Carol Anne), died on the operating table, mere months before MGM unveiled the (unintentionally) hilarious Poltergeist III (a movie barely redeemed, in fits and starts, by inventive use of mirror photography). |
 | | Though ORourkes character is a portrait of preschool naivete, the image of Carol Anne at the television set, lit only by the strobing screen, is an indelibly haunting one (it sparked the movies memorable poster and ad campaign), making us wary of her from the outset. |
 | | What follows is a non-stop ghost tale in which Carol Anne is sucked, physically and spiritually, into another dimension. |
