HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE POLTERGEIST II FROM IMDB

The Freeling family move in with Diane's mother in an effort to escape the trauma and aftermath of Carol Anne's abduction by the Beast. But the Beast is not to be put off so easily and appears in a ghostly apparition as the Reverend Kane, a religeous zealot responsible for the deaths of his many followers.

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE POLTERGEIST II FROM DVDTALK

The movie

If there were ever an example of sequels missing the point of the original film, Poltergeist II and Poltergeist III would be it. The original Poltergeist scared the living daylights out of me when I saw it as a kid. I mean, it terrified me. When I saw it again as an adult, admittedly it had lost its visceral pulse-pounding effect, but frankly, it still worked pretty darn well. The reason for that is that it's a nicely constructed story: it starts off low-key and innocuous, telling about some strange and slightly creepy events happening to a normal suburban family, and little by little ratchets up the tension level. The story focuses on discovery, as the Freelings gradually get pulled into a scary supernatural world and have to deal with it. The apocalyptic finale is spectacular precisely because it's been reserved for the end.

Fast-forward to Poltergeist II. Someone must have looked at the original film and decided that the magic ingredients were "cute kid" and "gross special effects"... because we get both of those right away. Right away we're given a bunch of ghostly effects and "scary" corpses, not to mention strange, "spooky" men following Carol Anne (Heather O'Rourke) around. But since there's no buildup, it's all ho-hum. Oh, look, a gruesome corpse. Yawn. Look, a sinister man. Whatever. I don't get any feeling that the filmmakers understood what made the scary moments in the original film actually be scary; if they did they certainly didn't know how to do it again.
