Sometimes after I poop I stand up and say "This house is clean." Also, this is a really good movie that manages to stay scary and not go for gore.

100% Steven Spielberg directed this wearing Tobe Hooper's skins. The opening ten minutes alone are all the proof you need. Great slice of Americana. I’d love to see a version of this from the neighbours perspective - “uhh that kid across the street just got eaten by their tree”.

A classic 80's haunted house horror movie that I really wish I had seen as a kid. While these spookies would have certainly given 8 year-old me so many nightmares, unfortunately now as a cynical man-child, I found the spookies far more fun than frightening. However luckily, in addition to the ghostly frights, the movie is a lot of Spielberg family schmaltz, which helps lube up the wonky paranormal plot. Even if not all the visual effects or horror holds up exactly, it's still well worth a watch.

What makes this movie not only so damn watchable, but also so damn re-watchable is, that at it's core it's a drama about a family, trying to cope with what cannot be explained. A beautiful mix of Spielbergian magic, horror and two adults that will do anything for their daughter, even if it means jumping into limbo itself, makes this one of my all time favourite horror classics. This and 'Hide and Seek'. Kidding. They're heere!

Brilliantly devised and crafted horror flick is, with greatest respect to Hooper, clearly a Spielberg film through and through, taking an outlandish premise and making it believable, with the help of a terrific cast (looking at you Nelson, Williams, Straight, Rubinstein and O'Rourke), and its ability to locate the horror within the closely observed life and routines of a "normal" all-American family. Only the second climax feels a little deflating because it feels like an unnecessary tack-on.

Starts off quite creepy but some of the effects are quite dated now, as such a lot of the scares that relied on them simply aren't scary anymore. Still the premise is creepy and I'd be lying if "they're here..." didn't give me shivers. Some great stuff in this film!

A good spot of 80s Spielbergian horror fun. Great special effects; a lot of them haven't aged a day. Also, the family dynamics always felt so real in these 80s genre flicks in a way I'm not sure subsequent decades ever comparably mastered.

There isn't a ghost of a chance that you anybody should skip this classic. They're here! I thought this movie was pretty awesome. My main complaint I can give this film is that the parents seemed pretty cool with living with ghosts, like they had sugar ants instead or something. I know it's California and people are chill there, but when you can't put a kitchen chair in a certain spot without it sliding across the room you've got problems...

The specificity of the art direction and costumes makes this stand out more as an 80s design lesson than a serious horror film. Think brass, wicker, rattan, fake house plants, formica, etc... but in a really good, satisfying way.

An odd combination of horror and sentimentality--as if Hooper wanted to make one film, and Spielberg another. It's well-paced, which is essential for this kind of film, and the little girl has an appropriately creepy face. That said, the film is more a curiosity than something truly scary--the sentimentality dominates the movie, offering a kind of safe horror that doesn't make much of an impact.

In a haunted housing market I couldn't help but feel jealous - not only of the young family affording a rad 2-story with a pool on a single income but of the skeletons popping out of fancy luxury coffins just to continue asserting their claim to the land. Anyway, the family dynamic grounds the movie well but the scare factor is low, largely just a bright light and a big fan.

I guess seeing this for the first time as an adult in 2022 is probably not ideal. But this feels weirdly like a kids/family movie that is just punctuated by a few adult horror moments. I knew Hooper directed and did not know of Speilberg's involvement, so I always thought this would be a lot more raw. Glad I saw it if only to better understand all the references.

Except for face melting, Spielberg did this. Sci-fi allegory about being together as a family to face everyday scares. Wide angles provide access to a happy home haunted by underground ghosts - daddy's boss moved headstones, not tombs. Mom has to pick up the toys, face beasts twice by herself. Second half falls by trying to turn it into a paranormal investigation. Comic bits

I like the first part a bit, but it goes more and more boring as time passes. The idea wasn't bad, and I had to recognize it really got into people and movie history its way... but I find it too boring and irrelevant personally. Also, many times I find what the ghosts do involuntary funny (I have doubts about the involuntary element, but it happens even when the movie is in the serious and apparently scarier part).

Poltergeist is my all-time favorite movie for a lot of reasons, but the Oscar-worthy performances by Nelson and Williams is the one that stands out. It helps that Spielberg's screenwriting is every bit as excellent as the acting. Also, Poltergeist breaks the genre mold. It's thrilling, warmhearted and poignant all at once. The Freelings feel exactly like a real family, and they're likable, which makes them easy to root for. This movie has a heart, which sets it apart from other thrillers.

Honestly it doesn't matter who directed this. Poltergeist is a collaborative film, and a good one at that. The special effects are of a high standard. The story is interesting and well acted. And there are moments that can truly send a chill down your spine. Mostly due to the phenomenal appearance by Zelda Rubnstein.

To me, the random chair-stacking was the creepiest bit by far. Much scarier than the skeletons or the strobe lights. Many've speculated that Hooper was the director in name only and that Spielberg did much of the heavy lifting,but if anyone has seen the original Chainsaw Massacre, Fun House or Salem's Lot, you can see Hooper's fingerprints all over this one (and he can do horror well, so this is a good thing). Certainly better than the typical 80s horror junk, but falls short of must-see status.

Man, Tobe Hooper had a weird career, didn't he? Nothing gonzo or shocking here, besides a certain subversive vein that makes its unsubtle but oddly enjoyable way through the film, poking fun at manifest destiny and its 1980s capitalist renaissance. The disparate elements (the Spielbergian awe, the goo-and-flashing-lights extravaganza, some excellent character actor performances) gel together more often than not, and when the narrative fails, it at least does so with gusto.

Not the directorial tug-of-war I was expecting, nor anywhere near as subtle as my unfounded assumptions informed me. It feels complete, competent and cohesive (except for that one, jarring cut), but it doesn't feel like a horror movie. It's like a horror script executed in family-adventure flick fashion, which is something I don't know how to digest. I dig me some super-duper special FX, and this wastes no time in diving into that territory, but here it feels inappropriate and overblown.

Starts out as a light hearted family film. Then somewhere near the end of the movie someone's face disintegrates, turning into a bloody pulp. Eventually, and under increasing pressure from evil forces, a nice suburban house is turned to dust. Phase one is unremarkable, the later horror scenes are fun but slightly goofy. One particular scene stands out: a medium (splendidly portrayed) tells our family what kind of shit they got themselves into - her narrative pacing is close to perfect.

It goes from mildly amusing in its first act to completely boring in its second. The craziness of the third act was the most entertaining part of the movie, but failed to create any tension for the fate of a family this movie did not make me care about. The dated visuals and heavy music did not help. It's not funny enough to be considered a comedy, not smart or profound in any way, too ridicule to be taken seriously and -- most importantly -- never, at any point, frightening.

The background information about the actors - Heather O'Rourke and Dominique Dunne - and their tragic story following production of the film adds a whole different layer to the viewing experience. The gradual build-up of the atmosphere was executed in a masterful way, with the film gradually descending into the hectic and deranged second half which offered moments, characters and interactions of a bizarre and other-worldly feel. Some of the shots and motives in the film were unforgettable.

I FUCKING LOVED THIS MOVIE, especially the film's maintained sense of foreboding and my eagerness in anticipating forthcoming thrills. Some scenes in particular burst with creativity, purposely silly yet richly cinematic in their execution. The array of characters is typical Spielberg fare i.e. lovable middle-class family you find yourself rooting for with Goldsmith's wonderful score intervening at precisely the right moments. An awesome horror classic.

It was a fun little ride for sure. I appreciate Poltergeist for what it is (a solid horror movie) but people are right when they say it is outdated. Obviously made on a low budget, it makes the scares a little less, well scary. It's still pretty great though, with some good acting, a fine script, and some good ole "ghostbusting". It's also a pretty interesting production if you want to look into that. Overall, really fun for what it was.

Hooper attempts to go after the suburban American family again, but is somewhat neutered by Speilberg. Or thats how I see it at least. Even a lot of Hooper's usual visual flair is missing from this film. more of a basic horror film than anything else. I just think there's a lot of potential here that is wasted. Although, that face peeling scene is still great

Hooper and Speilberg created a movie of utter genius. Always packs a punch of unique horror because of it's trypical and generic beginning. A family we recognize and a sudden punch of something in there that will make us not want to leave the TV on after dark. The movie is carried by brilliant performances from Craig T. Nelson, JoBeth Williams, Heather O'Rourke, and Oliver Robbins. Definetly a film to see for any horror lover.

Spielberg and Hooper's conflicting sensibilities create interesting tensions that work surprisingly in its favour, and while there are obviously dated elements, the patient narrative construction and creation of an eerie mood/atmosphere is sorely lacking in comparable films today. The camerawork is great, and the performances are fine, with Rubinstein offering a showstopping monologue that holds up despite numerous parodies. O'Rourke is also one of the more memorable child actors of the era.

After a sometimes cloyingly cute opening reel, this Spielberg production gets down to serious business with one of the most visually spectacular spook-outs in celluloid history.

A truly novel and forrifying film about ghosts taking back the land that was stolen from then at the expense of the family living in the home.

Although the movie starts off rather creepy and sets a very spooky atmosphere, the very dated effects detract from this movie.

Poltergeist is a horror classic that hasn't aged quite as well as a lot of the films to come out around the same time.

Has its moments and some amazing effects but overall 'Poltergeist' hasn't aged well at all and is more silly than scary.

Spooky, imaginative and with plenty of suspense. A good old fashioned horror flick.
