Steven Spielberg gave us some of the biggest thrills in the blockbusters like Jaws and Jurassic Park.
Tobe Hooper made one of the most groundbreaking horror movies with 1974's Texas Chainsaw Massacre and later gave us the more obscure gems Funhouse, Lifeforce and The Mangler.
In 1982, these two brilliant minds got together and made Poltergeist - a harrowing tale of a loving family being trapped in a suburban, supernatural hellscape.
The way they managed to mix humor and family drama with moments of genuine terror is just marvelous. And the effects of the film also still hold up quite well - a true testament to why practical effects just simply work when done right.
A very visceral, sweet, fun and scary movie that even give us some of the good ol' feelings of Spielberg adventurism and optimism.
Overall, a very enjoyable movie.
And here are my thoughts on it. Poltergeist, one hell of a good supernatural ghost film and, may I say, a rather forgotten, obscure horror gem.
