They're here...Well, this is another classic that I have never seen before. I wasn't sure how it was going to hold up against the more modern films but rest assured, it absolutely holds its own. It didn't make me jump out of my chair or scream with terror but it was really enjoyable and is definitely scary enough to get on the Friday Horror Night list. The little girl is so angelic, I was really worried for her safety when it all kicked off. There are a few corny effects but I have actually seen much worse on the current series of Doctor Who – and that doesn't even have the excuse of being so old! I'm glad I've watched it and would highly recommend it if you haven't already seen it.
SECOND OPINION: I haven't seen this film for a long, long time and, if I'm honest, I thought it was going to be entertaining, but not at all scary. I was wrong. There's something about Poltergeist that is very, very creepy. Ok, so it all gets a little silly at the end, but after 27 years this film still has the ability to send more than a few shivers down my spine.
If you've not seen it before you'll still find it strangely familiar. Poltergeist has been parodied and copied by pretty much every movie or tv show that references poltergeists since it was made. Everything from Family Guy and The Simpsons to X-Files and Ace Ventura have used this movie as their source material. So if you've not seen it yet, what are you waiting for?
