Re: Poltergeist

Hollywood has literally run out of ideas.

Edit: This actually looks kind of good though.

Re: Poltergeist

I hope its a good as original. That one was brilliant. I doubt Raimi can do as good as a job as Speilberg did. At that time, the special effects was the best we've seen. I just hope its not just a rehash of the original. I'm a big fan of the trilogy. Obviously, the 3rd one is not as good as the 1st one.

It seems that way. I feel that there's still some untapped potential that they haven't show us, yet.

Damn clowns........

Re: Poltergeist

Damn clowns........

That clown from the original, used to give my sister nightmares. That's some creepy stuff there. When I saw this part as a kid, I was totally freaked out. Now as an adult, I'm still freaked out. Up until that point, we haven't had possessed clowns in movies. I was surprised, when it came alive. To be honest, the movie never explains how the clown was possessed.

Re: Poltergeist

The part were the clown comes alive is one of the best scenes of the movie.

Spoiler

I especially like the part when the tree tries to eat the brother.

I hope they can redo that part. Today's effects could make those scenes even scarier. I'm really hoping they can redo the plot and include more scenes with the kids. They are the main characters of this movie. Also, more time with the parents would be a good idea.
