"Poltergeist is one of the most thrilling films ever made. Fascinating, frightening, as suspenseful as they come, this is high - voltage, jolt-a-minute film-making at it’s compelling best. Producer Stephen Spielberg here presents the best in modern cinema. Life is very pleasant for a California family... until a host of other-worldly forces invade their peaceful suburban home. It starts with just an odd occurrence or two, but soon their house is turned into a swirling supernatural sideshow. The forces at work are anything but friendly - and if the luckless family doesn’t soon clear out, they’ll all be swept into nightmarish chaos!"
A nice suburban home is thrown into turmoil when a ghost begins to terrorise them with such things as a hungry tree and a large wall mounted mouth. I can remember the first time I saw Poltergeist when it first came out to rent 12 odd years ago, and I used to nearly shit myself when I saw the bloke look in the mirror peel his face off.
