These upcoming horror movies may not end up sucking

[Butcher]

I was a big fan of the original, but I have to say...it hasn't held up all that well. I watched it with my kids recently (11 and 9) and a lot of it seemed kind of hokey. The effects haven't aged well, either. And, I'm not sure what this means, neither of them were scared at all; they were mostly just bored. I'm sure that's a side-effect of being raised on Harry Potter and LOTR movies where everything is so loud and intense, but still...

 

I'm torn on the whole thing. I'm pretty tired of reboots, but I think Poltergeist is old enough and could benefit from a reboot, if done well. We'll see...
