"They're Heere!!" In Poltergeist, a typical suburban family is tormented by various evil spirits bent on taking their youngest daughter and driving the rest out of their home. Great SFX, score, settings and more drive this frightening vehicle home. Mischievous and malevolent, the ghosts even drive paranormal investigators wild with fright, until finally the entities are confronted and the family is reunited at its conclusion. Good, scary fun! See this film and find out just why Steven Spielberg is amazing.
