http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/21/Poltergeist-Sneaking-Back-Into-Theaters.aspx Suburbanites all over get ready to shudder, because POLTERGEIST is headed back to a neighborhood near you! The smash hit that terrified children and adults alike, is celebrating its 25th anniversary by being re-released for one day only. Latimes.com says “the digitally remastered film will be screened in theaters and then released on DVD Oct. 9.” Just when I thought it was safe to build that pool I was thinking about. A real good ghost story is hard to find, and this offering by Steven Spielberg has always stood out as one of the best. Besides scaring the pants off of millions of people, the movie was surrounded by tragedy and mysterious illness and death for many of the cast and crew, which only heightened the chill factor. While there were some awesome special effects for the time, the magic of this movie was in the story itself. It was written by Spielberg, which further proves his dominance in film. As far as marketing goes, it’s a brilliant move to cash in on a movie classic 25 years after it was originally released. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/21/Poltergeist-Sneaking-Back-Into-Theaters.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/21/Poltergeist-Sneaking-Back-Into-Theaters.aspx#1475 it would be cool to have that movie back,its a keeper. sharon3377 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/21/Poltergeist-Sneaking-Back-Into-Theaters.aspx#1475 Fri, 21 Sep 2007 19:31:51 GMT http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/21/Poltergeist-Sneaking-Back-Into-Theaters.aspx#1494 this was a really great movie. i cant tell you how many times i have watched it. lol brokun1 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/21/Poltergeist-Sneaking-Back-Into-Theaters.aspx#1494 Sun, 23 Sep 2007 14:49:03 GMT http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/21/Poltergeist-Sneaking-Back-Into-Theaters.aspx#1504 love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! maryjj http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/21/Poltergeist-Sneaking-Back-Into-Theaters.aspx#1504 Mon, 24 Sep 2007 19:57:23 GMT http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/21/Poltergeist-Sneaking-Back-Into-Theaters.aspx#1626 Oh WOW, wouldn't it be great to have this movie back!
