Poltergeist (1982) vs. Poltergeist (2015) + Franchise Ranking

[@angelica-pt9lg]

Loved that you included your dad on this 🥺🥺 It was so nice to watch! The intro was the best part, pls do more as you keep doing your videos!!! 🤍 It’s very different ✨

[@HauntedHippie]

Thank you! I love doing it, I’m gonna try to keep up the fun mini horror shorts!

[@graciesimon3616]

can you do the Hunted Manson of 2003 and the new remake? 2023

[@alejandrosuarez9968]

Hi, I remember requesting a video on this saga. Now, I am not saying you' ve done it because you are humoring me; I thank you for this video. Due to the lack of high tech ( in movies in general) , they managed to provide us with some flawless horror cult...a diverse approach on phantoms' presence in houses: the agressive kind , Poltergeist.

[@JasenPotts]

Poltergeist II is worthy of recognition because of Julian Beck as Kane for being super creepy, he elevates it beyond shitty sequel. God is in his holy temple...

[@WhataGhoulWants]

The intro 💯 the fit 💯 the analysis 💯 another slam dunk Kylie!

[@johnnygunzfilmbuff7821]

Steven Spilberg was suppose to direct poltergeist was to busy with e.t. the movie is debatle who directed. What's crazy is when making the movie the actors asked Spielberg advice instead of hooper.

[@excelsiormoviereviews]

I’m so happy that I got to see the original Poltergeist at an AMC, in 2020, for the first time. Unfortunately, I saw the remake in the theater as well. The only thing I liked about the remake was the dimension Carol Anne went to with the creepy dead. Also, Jared Harris (Carringan Burke) is the son of Richard Harris (Dumbledore #1)

[@HauntedHippie]

Wow I actually never knew that hahah

[@excelsiormoviereviews]

@@HauntedHippie your mind has been blown. 😂

[@johnnygunzfilmbuff7821]

The mean girls clip confession I've never seen mean girls. Well according to my older sisters I did but I dont remember.

[@rentme2011]

My order would be the order they were made. The 3rd movie’s use of mirrors freaked me out as a 10 year old. My parents owned a dance studio so we had 6 huge mirrors. They were hard to avoid but I did my best! I liked how the 2nd movie explained the back story of the first. Apocalyptic Cult run by Kane trapped in a cave under the future Cueste Verde neighborhood. The original is by far one of my favorite movies. I grew up with it. As an adult with a 5 year old, I see it through the mother’s perspective. Actress Jo Beth did an amazing job! And that final night when the shit hits the fan, the mother went through SO much! All by herself rolling around on the ceiling, going in the skeleton pool then running into the house and saving them. Then running all over the house carrying her children while coffins were popping up everywhere. WAY better than the remake!

[@molasorrosalom4846]

I didn't see either one, I'm 41 years old, I'm so ashamed with myself. 😔

[@shyaluora6315]

Poltergeist (1982) scarred me for life when I was a kid around 6yrs old. Got me into horror.

[@shanekixmiller2133]

Yes! Please do evil dead! Evil dead 2013, in my humble opinion, next to the blob 1988, is the greatest remake of all time. Love your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@tombaker4586]

What a great thumbnail, really generates anticipation.

[@c-o-f-f-e-e1586]

"I wish that they all got sucked in to the ghost closet dimension". ^^ Amazing comment and I totally agree.

[@HauntedHippie]

😂 thank you!

[@Sabowie]

Thanks again for another great video HH! I couldn't even bring myself to finish the remake it was so stupid. I shut it off after about 45 minutes.

[@snowdriftmoon]

Evil dead comparison would be tight! Love poltergeist, just saw it for the first time a while back and it was incredibly moving.

[@RaVeJB]

A onesie lol 😆 love the intro ❤ keep up the good work Kylie 🙏🏻

[@corylee2007]

I don't often skip horror movies, but when I do there remakes of perfect films that don't need remakes.

[@LegoEpicAnimator]

The beginning of this video is so cool.

[@HauntedHippie]

Thank you!

[@ShyheemOfTheDead]

*BADASS AS HELL INTRO* 🤍📺👻

[@johnnygunzfilmbuff7821]

My mom is not a horror fan but she loves ghost movies and the supernatural.

[@springsummersdragball]

I just want to know how the man ripping his face off in the original didn’t warrant an R rating 😐

[@HauntedHippie]

Hahahah same

[@loganc1158]

I would love the evil dead comparison. I love both versions. I know you aren’t really a fan of the remakes

[@royalhorror]

THE MEAN GIRLS MEME !!! I personally don’t enjoy these films but I do appreciate the impact the og made ,specially coming out on an era where slashers were popular . The movie really said : let me be ORIGINAL . We love to see it Also , I don’t care , your intro is the real remake

[@HauntedHippie]

Ahahaha I will take it, thank you

[@davidcottone2700]

Worst to best 4 poltergeist 2015 3 poltergeist 3 I know I'm too kind but heather o Rourke last movie 2 poltergeist 2 1 poltergeist 1982

[@tyleigh4309]

Yes definitely do Evil Dead. The remake is totally badass

[@DesiSJ]

I think with the clown, its that clowns seem to be overdone and we are desensitized to them now. Back when the original came out, even when you saw it first, there weren't a LOT of things with clowns that were mainstream. We had IT and this came out before the tv version of IT so it was scary. This is a child's toy, a toy that I know I had a similar looking thing in my bedroom. You saw it everywhere in the 80s and to have that attack that way...that's scary. Now we see it all the time. Clowns are everywhere. Twisty, Art, Pennywise, etc. It isn't scary and we KNEW this scare was coming. Had they given us the clown and we expected it to be the clown the whole time, only to have it end up being a doll or something else in the room that had barely been shown, it would've been a little better. Perhaps a sweet looking stuffed animal or something. The problem with remakes is that they try to replicate these iconic scenes and they fail. I can't be scared a second time by the same thing. You need to make it different.

[@HauntedHippie]

Okay yes absolutely 100% this. I hadn’t really considered that clowns weren’t a mainstream scare tactic back then.

[@masonsnodgrass6808]

Love the intro!!

[@ShyheemOfTheDead]

Loving *The Wild/Christmas* Vibes Of This Video. Simply Put For Me, The Official Winner Of This Comparison Is Without A Doubt The Original. It's Just That Original & Nostalgically Fun To Watch. So Much Was Done Right About That Movie But As Far As I'm Concerned About That Remake... Burn It Deep In Hell Fire😂🔥What Does It Exist?.... I Don't Know.

[@HauntedHippie]

Hahahah facts

[@loganc1158]

Love the intro! I don’t like the remake at all. I enjoy the original film enough, but it had never been one of my favorites.

[@GoreyBits]

The 2015 version (to me) is so forgetful. I’m not against remakes at all, but this and Van Sant’s PSYCHO feel unnecessary.

[@HauntedHippie]

100%!

[@robbybobbybobirwin]

Loved the intro recreation

[@amberpeterson4679]

I think the point of remakes is so we can see it with the technology we have today. I wish remakes were exactly the same but with better acting and better effects. The older movies are pretty bad because of the effects in my opinion, cause they usually just make me laugh

[@Dparish24]

Insidious is most definitely a better remake. Like the original Poltergeist, it has a likeable family and likeable paranormal investigators.

[@HauntedHippie]

!!!!

[@jamison796]

pls rank the evil dead franchise!! i just finished it up & i’m currently watching ash vs evil dead too

[@kenyetamoses2797]

The 1982 version of the movie named POLTERGEIST is definitely the winner but the original POLTERGEIST is impossible to beat because it's that damn good. So the winner is 1982 POLTERGEIST.

[@marklewis9770]

Love your videos much love keep it up

[@johnnygunzfilmbuff7821]

I refuse to watch the remake.

[@paulb1311]

I have the same ranking as your dad… cool dude! 😎

[@SkullPitMercenary]

Great V!D KY personally for me I gotta go with the OG enjoy everything about it & s/o 2 Matt 💪🏾🤘🏾

[@reazmonrow8690]

Nice intro!

[@Dparish24]

Poltergeist III made me angry because Heather O'Rourke wrapped all her scenes but they cut her final scene and reshot the ending after she died with an obvious body-double. Pretty disrespectful to the late young actress.

[@HauntedHippie]

Yea that was very weird

[@NinjaMidget1969]

Poltergeist is my favorite movie of all time. The remake I turned off about half way through...and I've sat through some horrid movies including Pink Flamingos. The remake was that bad

[@jasoneubank514]

Here is my ranking of the Poltergeist Franchise.The original Poltergeist is 100 percent better then the remake. 4)Poltergeist II 3)Poltergeist (2015) 2)Poltergeist III 1)Poltergeist

[@kenyetamoses2797]

WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO HAVE A POLTERGEIST 2 REMAKE AND A POLTERGEIST 3 REMAKE PLUS IS THERE GOING TO BE A POLTERGEIST 4?

[@shyaluora6315]

I know it's a Poltergeist video and ur opening was awesome, but at first look, it kinda looked like something to do with the ring lol

[@HauntedHippie]

True TVs are big in the ring too haha

[@sagittarianfirerat7657]

I like the eldest daughter in the 2015 Poltergeist and dislike the Dana. I think Dana is the worst eldest sister and daughter, she ran away when her family needed her the most.

[@HauntedHippie]

She was 15 lmao what was she supposed to do her parents wanted the kids to be safe

[@jasonvoorhees310]

Great video as always. Love the content. Gonna piss alot of people off here but Poltergeist is not a film I like. The fact that Amblin Entertainment and Spielberg produced the film, to me hurts the horror aspect of it. That's why I welcomed a remake more focused on that but the remake has alot of issues. Horrible writing being the main. Back to the original, Amblin and the feel of the movie just hurts it. Plus it's clear this is a Spielberg directed film. Sorry Toby but this film does not have your stamp on it. I wish it did. Probably would have been more horror in it. Mabey the score just ruins it for me. Way too much family Entertainment vibes. The film just isn't scary. I can't knock it from a technical aspect, cause its all done well. I just think the tone is off, and it's not scary at all. It feels like every other Amblin Entertainment film. The only one I like is Gremlins btw.

[@HauntedHippie]

Not all horror needs to be scary

[@jasonvoorhees310]

@@HauntedHippie yes, that's why I brought up Gremlins. "Poltergeist" from the title alone im expecting a Scary violent Spirit. That's what a Poltergeist is. Plus they hired Toby Hooper to direct. I just feel like Spielberg put too much of his touch on it. Horror has been a weakness of his imo. I feel no tension in his 2 "Horror" films Jaws and Poltergeist. There great films. But I would not classify them as Horror. To me Schindler's List was the closest Spielberg got to Horror. Cause the subject matter was real Horror. Now I'm not saying every Horror film needs to be like that, not at all. I just feel that Poltergeist was the wrong title for the film and they shouldn't of hired Toby Hooper if their intent was a more family friendly Horror experience. Cause those 2 things scream the exact opposite to me. That's all I'm say. I see why people would love this film, especially if you grew up on it. Not hating.✌

[@kennethomg2511]

Are you excited for Spider-Man no way home

[@HauntedHippie]

Yes!

[@kennethomg2511]

What do you think of Toby and Andrew might be in it

[@kenyetamoses2797]

WHY ARE POLTERGEIST AGGRESSIVE?

[@HauntedHippie]

dude turn off your caps lock

[@AlexEspinoza-w5d]

I HAVE THE EXACT SAME RANKING AS YOU

[@deauntemccombs5724]

Your really pretty just sayin lol nd great review👍🏽

[@jessiesmyth1949]

This is definitely one of the most pointless remakes ever made, topped only by the Cabin Fever remake 🙃

[@NightOwl_30]

Poltergeist is in my top 3 overrated movies. Sorry all. I just find it it so silly. The tree, the clown, the the portals. It's like Casper to me. Anyone else feel the same way?

[@kenyetamoses2797]

WOULD IT BE MORE INTERESTING THAT A BLACK FAMILY WOULD DO A HORROR MOVIE SUCH AS OR ELSE LIKE POLTERGEIST?
