Steven Spielberg
had his first great success as a producer. Released around the same time as Spielberg's
E.T.
, the film presents the dark side of Spielberg's California suburban track homes. The film centers on the Freeling family, a typical middle class family living in the peaceful Cuesta Verde Estates. The father, Steve (
Craig T. Nelson
), has fallen asleep in front of the television, and the dog saunters around the house revealing the other family members -- Steve's wife Diane (
JoBeth Williams
), sixteen-year-old daughter Dana (
Dominique Dunne
), eight-year-old son Robbie (
Oliver Robins
), and five-year-old Carol Ann (
Heather O'Rourke
). Soon strange things begin to happen around the house; the pet canary dies, mysterious storms occur, and Carol Ann is summoned to the TV set, where a strange shaft of green light hits her and causes the room to shake (They're he-e-ere!). As curious events continue, Carol Ann is repeatedly drawn to the television, where she begins to talk to the TV people. Soon Carol Ann is sucked into a closet, disappearing from this reality plane. Unable to find his daughter, Steve consults Dr. Lesh (
Beatrice Straight
), a para-psychologist from a nearby college. Lesh finds that paranormal phenomena is so strong in the Freelong household she is unable to deal with it and sends for clairvoyant and professional exorcist Tangina (
Zelda Rubinstein
) to examine the house in hopes of finding Carol Ann. Tangina makes a horrifying discovery: Carol Ann is alive and in the house, but is being held on another spectral plane. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide
