Lessons To Be Learned From Horror Films (570 movies items)"Location, location, location: Real estate edition. Building a house, or houses near or on top, of a cursed place, or a sacred place, is a bad idea."
Seen in 2017 (341 movies items)"This wasn't as bad as I was expecting and they had changed enough that it didn't feel totally unnecessary remake. The acting is pretty good. The original felt creepier because the house and the toys etc. looked normal. In this every looks like a horror prop. Especially the clown toys... Also, that squirrel was just laughable."
Horror movies - 40 years of remakes - (57 movies items)" Directed by: Gil Kenan ('Monster House', 'City of Ember') With: Sam Rockwell Was the original - Poltergeist (1982) - worth a look?
