What a combo! Tobe Hooper, the director of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, teamed up with family-oriented producer Steven Spielberg to make Poltergeist. The film is about a haunted suburban tract home in a development very much like the Arizona one in which Spielberg was raised. (Because it came out the same summer as Spielberg's E.T., it was tempting to see both movies as representing Spielberg's ambivalent feelings about childhood in suburbia. One was a fantasy, the other a nightmare.) Spielberg also cowrote the screenplay, which taps into primal, childlike fears of monsters under the bed, monsters in the closet, sinister clown faces, and all manner of things that go bump in the night. At first, some of the odd happenings in the house are kind of funny and amusing, but they grow gradually creepier until the film climaxes in a terrifying special-effects extravaganza when 5-year-old Carole Anne (Heather O'Rourke) is kidnapped by the spooks and held hostage in another dimension. Though not nearly as frightening as Hooper's magnum opus, or the original A Nightmare on Elm Street, which came along two years later, Poltergeist is one of the smartest and most entertaining horror pictures of its time. --Jim Emerson

 classic thriller for a bargain price November 3, 2008
i almost choked on my spit when i saw the price for this classic thriller. to this day i am still fearful of what might be lurking under my bed, thanks to this movie. if you haven't seen this one, you don't know what you are missing. highly recommend, a must have.
classic! October 28, 2008
This movie is highly recommended! The supernatural is something not to be tampered with and in this movie, you will see why! The spooks keep coming and the fun doesnt stop! For this price, why not add it to your horror movie collection!

This is an excellent film, that shows how good storytelling and wonderful special effects can create thrills and excitement for the whole family! A blockbuster of its day, yet the packaging for this 25th Anniversary Edition is pathetic, cheap, and not at all what this great classic deserves! The only extras are sad, boring pseudo-docs on the super-natural world.....paleassse! I hope the producers of this "special edition" are tormented by poltergeists until they undo this great injustice!

 Poltergeist 25th Anniversary Edition July 1, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Poltergeist is my favorite movie of all time. I've been waiting for an Anniversary edition for years! This edition is very disappointing as far as extras go. I gave it 3 stars for the picture and sound quality which have never been better!
Where is the theatrical trailer? In the theatrical trailer for the movie, there is part of a deleted scene where everyone is looking at the tapes of the ghosts. They see a black shadow with red eyes and behind it the shadow of "the beast". Diane covers Robbie's eyes and screams "That thing is in there with my baby!" Steve has to pull her away from the video monitors. I'm sure there are other deleted scenes as I know there is an outtake. The scene where Diane is forced up on the ceiling was originally shot differently. There was a spider-like stain above her bed that she ended up being dragged across and there was supposed to be more of an emphasis on a "ghost rape". The spider-like stain was supposed to foreshadow what the children's closet ends up looking like. I've seen pictures of this scene with the spider-like stain and I have to say I like the cut in the movie much better. There are also plenty of documentaries that could've been included on this dvd. You can watch the Making Of Poltergeist on youtube. The MGM release at least had an 8 page booklet with production notes and photos! I hope Warner Bros will release a special edition of the movie in the future with a lot of the extras I've mentioned! There's been a long debate over the years of whether Steven Spielberg directed it instead of Tobe Hooper. I know Spielberg helped out as he did with other movies he produced.(The Goonies) Who cares who really directed it. Give the fans what they want!!!!
