I can’t see you Mommy!
Poltergeist is another movie to be getting remade, or in this case, a reboot, but will this be even close to as good as the original spooky ghost story? If it manages to be half as good, then it should do rather well. Steven Spielberg was behind the terrifying story of a little girl who is taken into a different astral plane, and can only communicate via a TV that is left on at a snow filled empty channel. She encounters horrors that a little girl should never see, and may never forget!
MGM were financially responsible for the three movie franchise, back in the 80’s, but things being as they are, and costs needing to be spread, they are partnering up with Fox 2000 Pictures. This could mean we get to see more of these old classics getting the dust blown off their covers, ready for round two. This could be a very good thing, but it also could be the exact opposite.
Please don’t mess this one up. I have fond memories of Poltergeist, and I wish them to remain that way.
Thanks for heads up, Nav! Poltergeist is one of my favorite classic horror movies all the time, let’s hope Spielberg will take it to another whole new level.
btw. what do you think about the reboot on Evil Dead? You watched it already? I incidentally missed this one out.
I watched it last night for the first time. Excellent horror, but it isn’t a tongue-in-cheek movie like the first. Even so, very powerful, with some sick as hell gore! The best kind in my opinion. I liked your Man of Steel piece and left a question on it for you.
Cheers Casey.
First film always the best, don’t know why, the subsequent/reboot one gotta fight twice harder to beat it. Well, just take Spielberg’s his very first Jurassic Park for eg.. although I was just a kid then, it does ring the bell that the viral impact that broke out right after the first film slated for worldwide release but the sequels were the flops. For Poltergeist reboot, I pray that Spielberg will do more than just a cover to the original, especially after MGM raised the budget bar in collaboration with Fox.
Thanks for the Evil Dead review, I’ll watch it soon!
