Poltergeist II: the Other Side (1986)

Poltergeist II is relentlessly stupid. It also basically undermines the plot of the first film – in which the family is haunted by an Indian graveyard. In this film, Native American spirits are here to help! The real enemy is (apparently) a demonic cult leader and his dead followers. The cult leader is played by... and this is the only true reason to watch this film... Julian Beck of The Living Theatre. He is totally fucking creepy as this demon-possessed motherfucker. Otherwise – except for one sequence where a giant alien-demon comes out of Craig T. Nelson's mouth – this movie is really fuckin dumb.
