Summary: I'm afraid of the light Mommy! I'm afraid of the light!
Review: This movie rocks my world. As a little kid, some of the scenes were quite terrifying. Now that I'm older, I can really appreciate the finer features like the soundtrack, plot line, and acting. While this is a purely fictional sci-fi kinda thing, it seems all-too-real.

The only part I didn't really like about this flick was the inconsistency of who the "TV people" are. Did they come into the home from the television, or were they left there when the father's real estate company moved the cemetery? (And how, indeed, did the surveyors, construction workers, AND pool diggers avoid hitting one of those coffins that springs up in the end of the film while digging and lying the foundation? Poltergeists are the least of the Freeling's worries; I smell a CONSPIRACY THEORY!!!) The second movie provides a better reasoning as to the spirits' hovering around the house (and more specifically, to Carol-Anne), and the third even more so (not to imply that these movies are necessarily GOOD, just to say they fill in the plot gaps of the original).

Some very good scenes include the "mother" ghost descending the staircase with the others around her, and the scene just before Diane "crosses over" to retrieve her daughter, tethered on a rope by Steven. Tangina, laughable and ineffectual throughout ALL the "Poltergeist" movies also has a good scene when she explains of THE BEAST to the others. "He liiiies to herrr... he tells huh things onlah a chiiiiuuld could undah-stand...."

Very good movie; some slight exceptions.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent movie
Review: This is one of the best horror movies I've ever seen and yes it's rated PG. Not only does it have good special effects but it has a very talented cast. It's touching and scary all at the same time. The story involves around a family whose daughter is held hostage by evil spirits. The t.v.s in the home make it able for the family to communicate with their child who is on the other side. One of my favorite scenes is where the daughter's soul moves through her mother's. Very well done.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Only FAMILY Horror Movie
Review: This movie is a chilling and beautiful masterpiece. It has a great story and feel. It is a movie the whole family can watch. -4- real!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: My favorite horror film
Review: This film was entertaining and fun the whole way through. Carol Anne (O Rourke) was a great young actress.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely wonderful!
Review: My dad said he had recorded this and I groaned. He always shows me the weirdest movies. I had a feeling I was in for another one of those kind. But I was pleasantly surprised! Poltergeist was scary AND beautiful. That part where the spirits come down the stairs is extremely well done. It's interesting to just look at. I really despise those horror movies that think they can scare you with a lot of blood and gore... what they need is a good story. A good story like Poltergeist has. The parts where the mediums are telling about what the spirits are and things, wow! It creeps you out with a spooky story, not people being hacked into little pieces or anything. I especially enjoyed the surburbian feel. I live in a community exactly like that (it even has one of those crazy Spanish names) and it was interesting to have a movie that didn't use old haunted houses, but the new ones that there are so many of! It makes you kind of look around your house in a new way, making sure there are no spirits there! Go ahead, rent or buy this wonderful movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: On its way to being a surefire supernatural classic, surely!
Review: Surely this wonderfully freaky movie is on its way to becoming a classic. Heather O'Rourke is an adorable towheaded angel, the parents,(Jobeth Williams and Craig T. Nelson) are cool, pot smoking, laid back, etc. with a seemingly great relationship. The brother, Robby, is a seemingly typical older brother. The teenage daughter, played faultlessly by the late Dominique Dunne, is the always bitchy, know -it- all. Special effects are great, good laughs, tremendous scares, and a kick ass theme song to boot. Highly unusual all the deaths and accidents associated with the cast and this movie. Makes you wonder how close to the truth about the spirit world this movie might have been.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Scary and Amazing Movie
Review: This movie is a good recommendation to anyone who likes horror. It has great special effects and a great cast. It is about a family who's house is invaded by poltergeist, and you will never believe the ending.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: TONS OF FUN!!!
Review: This is probably the most enjoyable haunted house movie ever made.

The picture plays like a two-hour ride through a funhouse; complete with a finale designed for the sole purpose of throwing as many rotting skeletons at the camera as possible!

This movie serves as a reminder that if director Tobe Hooper really, really sets his mind on creating a decent horror movie, he can do it!

It's hard not to like a movie in which a mother throws open her children's bedroom door and nearly gets sucked into a portal leading to some hellish dimension!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This freaks me out!
Review: My lord is this movie ever creepy. When I first watched it, it scared the crap out of and it still does. To this day, I will never own a ventriloquist dummy. I mean, those are creepy enough already. Know what I mean? Cause you never know when one of those things will come to life. It's happened before and not just in this movie, I swear it!
