First Night of Poltergeist Week

Poltergeist


I love this movie. I've seen it a ton of times but still enjoy watching it. Good story, great acting, and lots of scary scenes. The parts with the clown and the tree always scared me as a kid. One of the best haunted house/ghost movies there is.

9/10

Next up:

Poltergeist 2

Poltergeist is one of the best horror films of all-time. Once in a blue moon, when you combine two great tastes - like Toby Hooper and Spielberg, you get the best of both worlds. (or you get the worst of the other-world, if you like puns)

Polt is a film I could watch many times, too. The clown scene is one of the scariest on film.

Poltergeist is still one of my favorites. Love everything about it. I think casting Craig T. Nelson as the father was perfect.

While there were parts of the movie I enjoyed(the tree,the clown,the toy phone), I didn't really care for Poltergeist.

The medium Tangina irritated me to no end. The child actors stole the show and I found the movie dragged on a bit.

I know I'm in the minority but there you have it!

Wow, it's been a long time since I've sat down and watched all 3 movies.

I won't get a chance this weekend but maybe next week I"ll try to catch one of them along with a Frankenstein movie for Chrono's Marathon.

I agree. He was a great choice and did an excellent job

They made for a great pairing although I've heard Spielberg was more in charge than Hooper.

I respect your opinion but disagree about Tangina. I thought her character was great. Creepy and otherworldly. The perfect character to show up and help them.

Hope to hear what you think.

What did you think of the chairs in the kitchen scene?

Tangina was irritating, but I began loving her two seconds into her first appearance. And one of the 'fun' bombs to drop at this point is to say: I think she was intended to annoy audiences. Was it the constricted high pitch voice, accent, her size, gender, weight, attractiveness level, her confidence and authority, apparent defensive smugness, her message bearing any apparent incongruity with 'Judeo-Christian' thought of the spiritual world?
