Poltergeist III

(1988)

Every time they made one of these Poltergeist movies one of the actors croaked in real life, but that annoying midget lady dodged the bullet every single time. Where's the justice, right? Anyway, Coach and his family must've finally figured out that the ghosts are really just after the little daughter, because they dumped her off on her aunt (it's the chick from RoboCop, and she is looking smokin' fine) and that's the last we hear of them. This flick is actually pretty cool at first, especially all the creepy shit with the mirrors. There's ghosts appearing in mirrors, and people showing up in the mirror when they're not really in the room (mirrors suck), but my favorite is when Donna from Twin Peaks is getting ready for this party and she comes out of the bathroom to talk to the little girl: you can see somebody's ass in the mirror behind them! We never find out what horrors the ass had in store for them though. Maybe they cut that part out. Unfortunately it's not long before sheer idiocy breaks out. The worst is the psychiatrist who says that there's no ghosts at all and that the little girl is really hypnotizing everybody! Maybe he thinks she ordered one of these from the comic books:

Other idiocy includes the RoboCop chick almost getting sucked through a door (the main guy is practically performing ass-to-mouth as he pulls her out, the lucky bastard), the midget talking to a puddle, Donna exploding out of the midget's corpse (okay, this part is pretty cool), and a demolition derby on ice. It's definitely not boring though, and at least there's none of that flying through outer space horseshit they had in Part 2. The only truly unforgivable fuck-up is that we never see the aunt naked.
