Title: Scooby Doo, meet Tom Sawyer. Tom, this is Scooby.
Review: I recently saw Poltergeist and was reminded why it remains (pun intended) one of the most frightening films I have seen. I then unfortunately wasted an hour and a half of my time watching this insepid sequel which truly goes from bad to worse. The lighting is terrible (I think that it was filmed in a real house, not a set) and the effects are laughable, as is the acting. The old man is supposed to be creepy, which he is, but he is as frightening as an old sock.The film really dies when the family "bands together with love" to battle "the beast." The movie takes a Scooby Doo meets Tom Sawyer turn as the haunted/hunted family battle the forces of evil in a nasty wet series of caves.A Native American and a midget (dwarf? little person?) help the haunted family battle Satan. Wait! Wasn't that the premise for a recent South Park episode? ; )
