Ghosts
invade suburbia in this 1982 horror film from director Tobe Hooper
(TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE) and producer Steven Spielberg. Life in the
Freeling family's tract home is comfortably bland, but frisky
poltergeists soon put a little excitement into their daily
routine--moving furniture and communicating with their youngest
daughter, Carol Anne, through the television set. Unfortunately,
harmless pranks quickly turn nasty and the previously friendly ghosts
kidnap Carol Anne, trapping her in the spirit world. To win the child
back, the family calls in a team of parapsychologists and a psychic who
conducts an elaborate exorcism. The apocalyptic finale is deliciously
macabre, and pushed the limits of the PG rating. A number of sequels
followed, and speculation still remains on whether Spielberg--who wrote
the story and storyboarded the action--essentially ghost directed the
film.
"...POLTERGEIST
is like a thoroughly enjoyable nightmare, one that you know that you
can always wake up from....Witty in a fashion that Alfred Hitchcock
might have appreciated..."
New York Times - Vincent Canby (06/04/1982) Included in The New York Times "10 BEST FILMS OF 1982" New York Times - Vincent Canby (12/26/1982) 4 stars out of 5 -- "POLTERGEIST balances genuine scares with light relief and a top performance from Heather O'Rourke....Classic stuff." Empire - Kat Brown (11/01/2007) 3 stars out of 5 -- "The performances are solid, the themes intriguing and the whispery build-up effective..." Total Film - Jamie Graham (12/01/2007) "...The film is strong on technique....Well-acted....Williams is terrific..." Variety - Har. (05/26/1982) |

Very good! by:
This is a great movie with wonderful special effects for its time. A
classic in horror films. The acting and script was perfect. Still to
this day gives me chills when I see a static tv screen! There are scary
parts but no blood/gore kinda things. The parents do smoke pot in one
part which I was a little surprised to see. I would recommend this movie
to anyone :).
good title by:
The way things seem to be so real. Excellent acting. I thing the
ending was very well done too. It made it easy to do another movie.

one of the more creepy horror movies out there, this takes the said
possibility of a poltergeist ( A haunting in a specfic area ) and
ravishes this familys house, as the movie progresses the hauntings get
even worse and when the family discovers a rather scary amount of
information on the land their house is built on, all hell breaks loose!
(litteraly)
if you like horror movies, and moreso ones that almost seem possible, i
highly reccomend picking this up. at minimum a rental.
one of my favorite flicks in the horror genre!

Story: A family's ordinary tract home suddenly becomes a gateway
for enraged ghosts who kidnap their little girl and take her to their
twilight world. Hiring paranormal experts, the family attempts to
discover why she was taken and how to get her back. Great performances
by all in this deluxe ghost story.

Who doesn't know the MOST famous horror-theatre line '' They're Here!...
'' ???
This Movie ROCKS!!!
little girl trapped inside a TV/Dimension, ghosts haunting a house and
it's occupants, TERRIFIC special-effects that even today it is HARD to
be matched!
directed by Steven Spielberg, one of THE greatest directors of all
times, good for any age UNDER parental supervision ofcourse!
I remember when i first saw it when i was a kid, many decades ago and i
had nightmares about it for months!
Movie is set in the late 1970's, and you can clearly see that in the way
they interact with there neighbours, sunday afternoon football, and
secretely smoking so there children won't see it. ( Flower Power Parents
).
The setting & all that can be matched in those times with everyday
American, can easily be identified with.
Ofcourse the ghost thing is a bit extravagant, but in beginning when
they hire professional investigators to find there kid then you can see
that Steven Spielberg did his homework good and all.
Very catching movie, a classic for all times, one of the first &
best horror-movies ever created, prior to Hellraiser.
This one you just HAVE TO HAVE in your collection.

I love this movie, always have. I bought it because my husband, who
is 31, had NEVER seen it! The special effects are definitely dated, but
the movie is still awesome!
