33: Poltergeist III (w/ Graham Reznick)

Episode 33 sees Andy and Mitch joined by a man whose work as a sound designer includes such films as House of The Devil, The Innkeepers, Clown and Stake Land. The man who co-wrote the Guinness award-winning horror video game, Until Dawn and the man behind Shudder Original series, Deadwax, it's Graham Reznick! His chosen film? Poltergeist 3! A film that struggles to match its lofty ambitions, Poltergeist III certainly merits that coveted "much maligned" status but is that something that can be easily looked beyond to the treasure beneath?  Coming two years after the second instalment in the franchise and missing some key players, Poltergeist III takes the characters of Carol Anne Freeling and Tangina Barrons and thrusts them into yet another battle with Rev. Henry Kane and the denizens of the other side.  The final film for Heather O'Rourke before her (far too early) death, Poltergeist III stands an oddity in a peculiar franchise and a difficult one to get on board with. What are YOUR thoughts?  The synopsis is as follows:  Psychically attuned youngster Carol-Anne Freeling is sent to live in Chicago with her Uncle Bruce and Aunt Pat. But that doesn't mean that she's escaped the apparitions that have haunted her in the past. When she starts experiencing terrifying visions, her school psychologist believes that they're figments of her imagination. But this becomes hard to believe when ghostly foes start inhabiting the mirrors in her relatives' high-rise apartment.
