POLTERGEIST (1982)
Summerization: A family moves into a new home built above a graveyard. The youngest daughter disappears, taken to another realm by the entities that haunt the house, and a little psychic is called in to save the day.
Why It's Awesome: The movie is fun as hell. Laughs, scares, thrills and chills. Craig T. Nelson is dad, JoBeth Williams is hot momma. They roll joints in bed at night after the kids are tucked in. The kids are slightly annoying, but tolerable. Dad has a remote control battle with the neighbor and change each others channels after the both end up owning the same brand of control. Mom and daughter play with the spirits in the kitchen. Then the shit gets real. And man, it's fucked up. A dude peels his own face off. Heather O'Rourke is awesome as the little blonde girl and Zelda Rubinstein is the little psychic.
Quote: "This house is clean," and "You only moved the headstones!"
Best Time To Watch: BBQ time. When you're staying at a motel, bring Poltergeist with you. If you happen to be moving, watch while unpacking. If none of these are in the foreseeable future, check it out July 17th or August 6th.
Quality: 9 outta 10 flickering T.V. sets.
