Although no where as good as original, certainly better than sequel

This is different from the first two in that it is set in a towerblock rather than single house, & Carol Anne is the only one of orignal family in it. This though is not a downside as tragic Heather O'Rourke is probably the best in it, though many of the other characters are not too bad, in particular her Aunt, Uncle & Cousin.First half is good with build up of things happening, but once Carol Anne & others go missing it seem to lose its way, & the ending was quite abrupt, not really explaining anything.I was also confused with Nancy Allen's character, the Aunt, who kept changing her opinion of poor Caral Anne. Early on she was kind, seeming to really like her, then when she disappeared seemd to think she was bad & not worth saving, then end part really loving her again. Wish she made her mind up.All in all worth watching, even though not great, but certainly a big improvement from the second movie. Not sure why that ranks higher.

RIP Heather O'Rourke...

A-Z Horror Movie of the Day..."Poltergeist 3" (PG-13 - 1988 - US)Sub-Genre: Paranormal/Sequel My Score: 5.1Cast=6 Acting=5 Plot=4 Ending=6 Story=4 Scare=4 Jump=6 F/X=5 Creep=7 Sequel=4Carol Anne is staying with her aunt in a high-rise building, where the supernatural forces haunting her make their return. "Kane! Give her back her family. You don't need them. You don't need Carol Anne! I can lead you into the light. I have the KNOWLEDGE... and the POWER!" RIP Heather O'Rourke...she passed away before this film was finished and they had a double for the final scene. This movie had a black cloud over it and it bombed in the theater. If you have not seen this one, it's no big deal. It took me a long time to bring myself to watch this...there were a couple of good parts but it was a meh.
