Man, Poltergeist scared the hell outta me as a kid & to this day I refuse to watch it again.
No matter how tacky the special effects are, I simply can't bring myself to watch it.

Furniture moving on their own.
F that!

This sounds awesome. Always a huge fan of the first few. Clown was really scary when you're like 5.

unless a good cast, won't be seeing

Anyone seen the sequels?

I have..

Any good?

Uhm, they're...okay I guess but obviously the first movie was better. Reviews of them are really negative. I haven't seen them in ages but I remember being confused by the ending of the 3rd cause it made no sense at all, think it was cliffhanger ending. And Kane's return is just one of the most stupid explanations. Anyway if we're getting a sequel I guess it means it was a cliffhanger ending maybe.

just like the karate kung fu kid. there is absolutely no reason to remake this movie. just use the structure to tell your OWN goddamn story. is it really that hard? is it?

It's a sequel...isn't it?

2nd one was good but third completely fell apart. Actor who played bad guy in part 2 passed away but was awesome in that film.

Clearly Jinxed didn't read properly.

I guess not

Well in the 3rd one the girl who played Carrie Anne died so they had to replace her with someone else and just do shots of the back her head since pretty much all the movie was done and the actor who played Kane for the 2nd film was diagnosed with cancer before he took on the role

Heather o Rourkes face was bloated entire movie. Sad.

This is exactly how I feel. My parents were watching it, and I was trying to sneak a look. Yah.... didn't work out so well. But I made myself watch it "when I grew up" except for one scene which still makes me nauseous just thinking about it.

Which scene?
The clown didn't bother me too much because you knew it was there to scare you in some way.
The dead bodies in the pool was just gory, from a kid's point of view.

I just couldn't get over how the mom & kids thought the furniture moving was cool, especially the kid flying across the kitchen floor was considered "fun" with no logical explanation at all.

The blobbing, pulsing thing on the counter, and then the black dude's face starts to melt off. That kept me away from Poltergeist for twenty years, and then when I watched it again - the "SOOOO CHEEEESY!!" hit me.

I wonder if the new director will insist on having a psychic on the set.

Sam Rockwell in talks

The only director who has a chance in hell of making this movie work is Fede Alvarez (Evil Dead). Not interested in it without him. We'll probably just end up with a generic "turn corner and cue jump scene" movie like most nowdays.

Why anyone want to remake or reboot a classic like this that legend claims has a major curse attached to it is beyond me.

You got proof it wasn't ?

Wasn't there a superman curse too?

This generation isn't capable of a good Poltergeist.

They'll just do something similar to Paranormal Activity.

I predict something similar to The Amityville Horror remake.

Let me guess you don't believe in all that sort of stuff

i'm not going to hold your hand if you stay in a haunted place.

The 1982 original was pretty much perfection and as much as I have no desire to see a remake/reboot, wishing won't make it so, but I will reiterate that the 1982 film was perfection.

gotta love the new trend....teaser trailer for a trailer.

The point of a trailer is to tease people about the movie and not reveal the entire damn plot and all of the jump scares.

Only if Michael bay directs it

JdnsO_e5pDs

Looks somewhat good

i remember reading somewhere that they said it was going to be more of a kids movie, Going by that it'll scare em.

Wonder if they'll do the scene where the guy picks off his face...

Amazing what got passed off as PG back in the 80's.

Jared Harris and his goofy f*cking Irish accent.

I kinda want to see this, but I'm still not getting my hopes up.

This TV spot shows Sam Rockwell in the bathroom hallucinating that his face is melting/bleeding. I prefer the original scene where Marty peels off his face.

more times than not, ghost movies are the best comedies, They don't scare me, they make me lol.

Will watch this due to Rockwell and Harries being pure win and the nostalgia from loving the first film as a kid, but am expecting little since the majority of modern horror flicks suck unwashed assholes.

How much longer til they remake Paranormal Activity?

Great another PA.

The first film is timeless to me, and is one of the films that can make me misty eyed. JoBeth Williams' performance was f*cking amazing.

Yeah this remake will be shit. Ill wait for pirate bay

saw the trailer prior to Furious 7 today and definitely confirmed this is a $5 sunday afternoon flick.. good thing i know an academy award voter who owns his own screening room

that is something a very ignorant person would say..

if you know how to use google then look up Charles Aidikoff..

He looks like the type of guy who'd enjoy a rim-job, yeah.

then im sure you give that to people on a daily basis

Oh yeah, I can spot wrinkly old men who like rimjobs from a thousand yards. It's an acquired skill.

Have some class, buddy.

Everyone cut the shit, please. Back to topic.

m-my apologies, Impediment-sempai.

I love Poltergeist, this will probably be shit though. What's your opinion on that, Stringer?

This will be sub par, but worth a watch on home media.

I was actually talking to Bruce but Imp ****ed that all up. Back to this shit movie remake

Joblo has their review up for this one, 6/10

i was expecting it to receive a 4/10.

A buddy of mine and his wife went to see this last night and told me that he wanted to walk out of the film 45 minutes into it, but his wife wanted to stay and watch.

He said it's a complete travesty and has no new anything of substance.

I believe him.

Joblo's

Yeah, I really have no interest in this. I'd probably much rather watch the original again. It just looks like they took the original and turned it into a PG-13 horror movie... and I thought/hoped those had gone out of style.

Lol...the original was also PG-13.

Always Mr. Literal, Kaz. You know what I mean. The recent PG-13 horror film genre that was popular for a while. The Ring, The Grudge, etc. In fact, I see that this was by the producers of The Grudge. No big surprise.

And as I suspected, no it wasn't. It was PG. Not the same as PG-13 for you non-American types.

Watched this last night. I have seen the original but it was so long ago I don't remember too much of it.

With that said I enjoyed myself. The movie had some legit creepy parts to it. It has Sam Rockwell who is terrific in almost everything he does.

I felt the first half was definitely better than the second half but I think that is true of most horror movies.

It's worth checking out.

strange this is will be a hit followed by a sequel while george clooney has a flop

Saw it.

Terrible. Awful. Horrible.

An utter disappointment.

I think the girl who played the original Carol Anne is probably haunting the actors and the director after this. geeze!

They all suck.

I think I got 20 minutes into this and turned it off

Shit Movie

Cool.

Who cares.
