It is not an awful idea. Tasked that have adapting family-friendly frightens towards the a widely enticing motion picture, ‘Poltergeist’ is an easy to understand touchstone. However, Simien has not tackle brand new tonal juggling work right here: ‘Poltergeist’ try each other funny and you will terrifying; ‘Haunted Mansion’ is actually none.
