Poltergeist (1982)
IMDb plot summary: A family's home is haunted by a host of ghosts.
Directed by Tobe Hooper. Starring Craig T. Nelson, JoBeth Williams, Beatrice Straight, and Dominique Dunne.
(Spoilers ahead.)
Well, this works pretty well for the most part. It's a good build, especially that moment near the end when you think it's mostly over and then it comes back WAY wilder than before. And that final scene of the house just collapsing into itself is intense. There's definitely some cheesy acting and dialogue but overall it manages to hold its own.
3.5 stars.
How it entered my Flickchart:
Poltergeist > Pulp Fiction
Poltergeist < Baby Driver
Poltergeist > Blade
Poltergeist > His Girl Friday
Poltergeist < High and Low
Poltergeist > The Hateful Eight
Poltergeist > Captains Courageous

Poltergeist > Monsoon Wedding
Final spot: #797 out of 2787.
