   Is Poltergeist a good movie?

   • Horror films often do not get their do, and the 7.1 rating for Poltergeist shows that this trend will most likely continue. Clearly an influential film by Chainsaw director Tobe Hooper, Poltergeist reached for, and achieved, everything that the earlier Amityville Horror failed to be; namely, scary, credible, and well acted.

   Reviews. Poltergeist. Roger Ebert June 01, 1982. Tweet. A bad night for JoBeth Williams in "Poltergeist." Now streaming on: Powered by JustWatch. Special effects in the movies have grown so skilled, sensational, and scary that they sometimes upstage the human actors. And they often cost a lot more.
