POLTERGEIST II (1986)
Featuring: Craig T Nelson; JoBeth Williams; Heather O'Rourke
Director: Brian Gibson
This first sequel did not receive quite the same rave reviews as the original did. Maybe it was because Steven Spielberg was no longer involved. Maybe people simply expected too much. Whatever the reason it still made a killing at the box office and I found it just as entertaining.
After their ordeal in California, the Freeling family moves in with Diane's mother in Arizona. This, they hope, will help them escape the ghosts that haunted their Cuesta Verde house. However, it soon turns out that it wasn't the house that was haunted, it was them! So, no matter where they go, the evil spirits will find them. The only solution is that dad Steve (Craig T. Nelson) must learn how to battle these spirits in order to fend them off and thus protect his family...
The scary stuff in this movie is even scarier than that of the previous one. But it is Julian Beck as the "Beast" disguised as Reverend Kane that will scare the bejeebies out of you. This is actually good fun, just as long as you don't take it all too seriously.
I rate it 3 out of 5 stars.

Is this guy (played by Julian Beck) creepy-looking or what...?
