Poltergeist

A nice suburban family is suddenly haunted by ghosts and one of them is abducted into the spirit world. This has been on my 'to-see' list for a long time now, and I have to say it was worth the wait. The movie was well written, with well developed characters, and a good story. I really dug the sceens where the ghosts moved furniture around. The was little gore and no body count, yet this movie managed to scare the shit out of me. A must see. 5 out of 5.
