Love the teenage daughter. She eats cereal and makes phone calls. Never once has a spooky ghost encounter. She’s just at a party while her entire family is getting coffin flopped.
no sympathy for this family. buy the ghost insurance next time
i love how their teenage daughter just fuckin up and left as soon as freaky shit started happening bc that would be me
Tobe Hooper's all-time classic remains the gold standard. Wonderfully written and acted, and honest-to-hell scary, this movie is as much about the family as it is about the haunting. The Freelings are charming, flawed, real, and fascinating throughout. One of the all-time greats, and one of the movies that cemented a lifelong love of the horror genre in me.
Overlong infomercial on the dangers of watching too much television.
Never seen so much Star Wars merch in one place

So I know that this movie basically traumatized a generation and my brother knew what he was doing when he showed it to me as a kid, but nowadays, I find this not quite as scary and more of an overwhelming familial suburban tale. Spielberg's unit destroyed by the shady practices of the corporations that offered the idyllic life of the Reagan 80s. One of the greatest american horror films.
What are you even supposed to do in this situation like I’d just kill myself
Poltergeist is a movie about real mom shit. Stepping on toys that you asked your kid to pick up and put away 100 times. Cradling your son and telling him everything is going to be okay on a sofa in the dead of night. Following your daughter into an unknown hell to save her from the bad influences of ghosts. Ya know. Just everyday mom shit.
extra half star because if you squint you can pretend that craig t nelson is harrison ford
I never would’ve stepped foot in that house again after the first incident but I guess I’m different
