This movie is what Hooper's "Funhouse" should have been. Today, we’ll study the pestle analysis of Netflix. However, the annual revenue of the company was 23.819 billion dollars in 2020, and it has increased by 26.19. (See "Amusement" for the second scariest). According to an estimate, the net profit of Netflix in 2020 was 2.806 billion US dollars and it has boosted by 98.48. Oh, and third, this movie contains some of the scariest scenes ever filmed and THE scariest scene ever involving a clown doll. I can't help but think of the opening of this movie whenever I hear that song now. Regardless, it's a thrill ride right from the ominous opening "Star Spangled Banner" scene. Second, I always wonder just how good this movie might have been had Spielberg fully committed to it, instead of devoting most of his time and interest into the more dramatic but overall inferior, "E.T." This movie is very good. Incidentally, it was two other Spielberg productions, "Gremlins" and "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" that caused the MPAA to invent "PG13." 2 years, too late. Had "PG13" been around at the time, this movie certainly would have qualified. In any event, this has to be the most frightening "PG" movie ever made.
Having Tobe "Texas Chainsaw" Hooper on board certainly couldn't have helped. You have to wonder if that would have been possible had anyone other than Spielberg been involved. First, I am always stunned that this film somehow avoided an "R" rating. There are always three things I think of whenever I watch Poltergeist. If Halloween is the holy grail of slasher movies, this surely is the holy grail of haunted house movies. Williams as the mother, Heather O'Rourke as the apple-cheeked daughter and Zelda Rubenstein as the pint-sized paranormal investigator leave such an indelible mark that version 2.0 never stood a chance. Of course, genius casting plays no small part as well. With just a PG rating, he amazingly scores some of the most organic boos in cinematic history (it honestly feels R-rated sometimes). In this PG-rated classic slice of horror, the Freling family's home gets haunted by a host of ghosts.īuilding on what made 1974's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre so bone-rattlingly scary, Hooper uses tracking shots and oft kilter angles to ratchet up the thrills. Indeed, even when the cadavers fly at you, Poltergeist feels more like a fun house than haunted house. You laugh with the Frelings and laugh often, building a camaraderie that makes their daughters abduction and mothers love all the more compelling. got released the same year), Steven Spielberg knew the makings of great entertainment and his story connects with the audience on every level.
Brilliantly directed and tautly scripted, the film wastes not a second of your time, bringing on the terror early on in the first act and never letting up. Rather than walk out of Gil Kenans C-Grade Poltergeist remake, Tobe Hoopers superior original definitely deserves a revisit. Short, sweet, and grippingly to the point, Poltergeist still earns top marks as a straight-head haunted house tale told with great humor and verve.
