Poltergeist III

Hoping some distance will help Carol Anne (O’Rourke) get rid of her haunting problem, her parents have sent her to live with relatives in their high-rise Chicago apartment. Unfortunately, too much talk therapy attracts evil spirits, and Carol Anne is in danger of being lost to the “Other Side” once again. Poltergeist III is a quirky sequel that, under the guidance of writer/director/effects man Gary Sherman (Dead & Buried), becomes an idiosyncratic marvel of practical and in-camera effects.
