The Poltergeist trailer show all sorts of insane moments replicated from Tobe Hooper’s original 1982 film of the same name. So, it’s bizarre to me that Fox continues to release these incredibly boring clips from the Gil Kenan-directed remake that arrives in theaters May 22nd.
Jane Adams appears in this second clip as Dr. Claire Powell, who explains to the Bowen family how these poltergeist act. This isn’t going to get people into theaters…why not show the clip of young Madison (Kennedi Clements) getting dragged upstairs by an unseen entity? Or a shot of Eric Bowen (Sam Rockwell) looking at a reflection of himself turning into something awful? Eh.
Sam Rockwell, Rosemarie DeWitt, Saxon Sharbino and Jane Adams star in the modern take, with Jared Harris playing Carrigan, a larger than life TV personality who left the world of academia behind to become the star host of basic cable TV show “Haunted House Cleaners.”
