    Why Poltergiest Sucks

    http://www.joblo.com/arrow/index.php?id=22072

    now obviously this is just an opinion, but its the best article I've read that pretty much sums up how I feel. I've always hated this movie. Now the comment section below the article you can see he's disagreed with a lot. But I agree 100%. How you guys feel?

    I disagree with the article. Poltergeist is the best ghost movie ever made in my opinion and was always one of my favorite movies growing up. The sequels on the other hand were pretty bad especially the third one.

    I agree with his points, especially when he said that it's aimed at the whole family. I think this movie would have been better with an R rating. I still, however, enjoy the hell out of this movie. Especially the face ripping off scene

    I will now go and read the article.

    Read: That is probably the most ridiculous, wrong, inaccurate article about horror movies ever. Poltergiest was amazing, is amazing, and will forever be amazing!

    Movie is awesome. Apparently the movie has a curse for using real skeletons.

    I disagree totally with the article. I'm still scared of clowns because of the scene.

    I can maybe get behind the score getting in the way, but I think that can apply across the board to almost any horror film; whether it have orchestral, metal or Carpenter keyboards as he mentions.
    Don't agree with him, but it's not the worst argument i've ever heard.
    Author must be disillusioned with all but the most underground/exploitative horror if this is how he perceives films like Poltergeist. This is sort of a template for a lot of the 'appeal to as wide an audience as possible' horror we see now, just of a higher quality.

    Sounded like a bunch of whining to me.

    I thought the movie was decent at best, one watch was good enough for me. The story dragged on a bit too much for me.

    Nothing wrong with this film at all IMO. One of my all time favorites.

    Well written ghost story brought to life by a talented cast and TH's great directing. Cool FX (for '82) too.
