I re-watched this film recently because my loser boyfriend told me he had never seen it. So i said 'What the hell!' and then put it on.

Ok, so. First things first LOL @ SPECIAL EFFECTS! Don't get me wrong, for the time it was made those were some awesome effects probably the best anyone had seen before, but looking at it now it makes the film +5 on the cheesy scale.

Over-Rated Silliness

When it comes right down to it, "Poltergeist" is pure silliness, starring adult protagonists who soon prove themselves to be TOO STUPID TO LIVE. The problem is not merely that is 'out-dated,' although it is. "Psycho" was outdated, but it had a good story and a good villain.

I'm not impressed with "Poltergeist"'s story at all, and the villains (the ghosts haunting the house and ul... read more

“(OK) Verla 40 años después crece: la visión de la familia y el suburbio es mejor que el terror. Beatrice Straight y la vidente (extraordinaria Zelda Rubinstein) conducen a través de fx que no se desbordan del plot como los de "The thing" del mismo año. La niña viendo el poltergeist a través de la pantalla hormigueante es ícono puro” read more

"22.9. C More Uusintakatselu. Vähän ponneton koko perheen kauhutarina sisältää hauskoja huomioita TV:n merkityksestä perhe-elämässä ja kivoja tehosteita, mutta alle kahden tunnin kestossaankin tuntuu ylipitkältä ja varovaisuutensa vuoksi välillä tylsältäkin. James Karenille olisi toivonut enemmänkin aikaa."
