About this movie

A typical family in a quiet suburb of a normal California faces a frightening ordeal when its home is invaded by a Poltergeist. Late one night, 10-year-old Carol Anne Freeling (Heather O'Rourke) hears a voice coming from inside the television set ... At first, the spirits that invade the Freelings' home seem like playful children. But then they turn angry. And when Carol Anne is pulled from this world into another, Steve and Diane Freeling (Craig T. Nelson and JoBeth Williams--In the Land of Women) turn to an exorcist (Zelda Rubinstein) in this horror classic from director Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre films) and producer and screenwriter Steven Spielberg.

Ratings and reviews

Poltergeist is brilliant movie seen all 3 I cannot believe heather O'Rourke died in real life that's why when watching this movie gives me more creeps

Brilliant film but this digital version has the aspect ratio cropped from 2.35:1 to 1.78:1

the original movie is much better than the remake
