Poltergeist (25th Anniversary Edition)
Added 1/26/2010

While living an an average family house in a pleasant neighborhood, the youngest daughter of the Freeling family, Carol Anne, seems to be connecting with the supernatural through a dead channel on the television. It is not for long when the mysterious beings enter the house's walls. At first seeming like harmless ghosts, they play tricks and amuse the family, but they take a nasty turn they horrify the family to death with angry trees and murderous dolls, and finally abduct Carol Anne into her bedroom closet, which seems like the entrance to the other side.

Poltergeist is quite the genuine horror thriller. It pulls you inside its devious mind like the little girl being sucked into the white noise of the television portal. The characters are believable and the suspence hits you stone cold, like a boxer's right jab in your face. Poltergeist is certainly one of the most influential supernatural movies of its generation. Poltergeist will shake your norms and rattle your soul.

Love the movie but...

...the allegedly new DVD didn't work. I have had the worst luck with Amazon and its vendors. Unusable CD, wrong CD, wrong and unusable CD, paid for an expediting fee and and got a standard shipment, and then this. I am going elsewhere for my media needs.

A second version
Added 12/2/2009

My husband and myself watch on an early version of pay per view in 1982 and the version we saw in the hotel in New York had at least two if not three scenes. The conversation in the kitchen was longer and the Mr. Freeling suggested they speak to the their neighbors. There as an horrific scene in the kitchen dealing with the dead bird. I can't recall the other scene but it had some to do with the dead. Am I imagining things or did my husband and myself just happen to pay for a special copy for the hotel we were staying in for the weekend. The hotel was the Milford Plaza.
Please, someone help me.

Just wanted to upgrade from VHS to DVD. The movie was filmed on our street and its cool to see our house a few months new. Steven Spielberg was interesting to watch. At one point he sat in his director chair, in the street (filming was up and down the street) and the kids gathered around. He really tuned into the kids. He asked our son who his favorite director was. Without missing a beat, our son said, "George Lucas". Spielberg laughed aloud. Of course, it was always all about Star Wars from the moment he saw that film. An Army veteran, it still is!

Poltergeist seeing as A Kid was impressive and downright scary. It's a Movie that you want to see during the day, It gives you the chills! Ghosts, Weird Things, Happenings, They do Exist. It's not Far Fetched as Perhaps UFOS? or Bigfoot. Movie is very Very Good. Great Acting too.A Classic!
