Poltergeist (1982)
Directed by Tobe Hooper
Quick Hit
Poltergeist slides in like a supernatural dread machineāfun, spooky, and never loosens its grip.
Full Take
Poltergeist leans hard into supernatural horror energy, and Tobe Hooper keeps the tone fun without letting the movie drift. It knows its lane and drives straight into the dark with style, control, and just enough mean streak. The rough edges are part of the charm.

This didnāt really land for me overall, but I can see why some people like it.
