Poltergeist (1982)

Directed by Tobe Hooper

Starring JoBeth Williams, Craig T. Nelson, Beatrice Straight

It's funny how children attract danger or can be vessels for paranormal evil.

The premise is as old as horror. A family discover that their home is haunted. But the ride along the way is much different.

Poltergeist shows what can usually be the downfall of a film and uses a big budget to run with the imagination. Normally its what the audience don't see. But here the audience are treated to spectacles after intelligent build ups.

4.5/5
