Critic Reviews of "Poltergeist 1"
TIME MagazineJune 01, 2011The film delivers honest special-effects shocks without forfeiting its good nature.
VarietySeptember 25, 2007Given the talents, Poltergeist is an annoying film because it could have been so much better.
Chicago ReaderSeptember 25, 2007Though the shocks are well conveyed, it's the sweetness that lingers, making this the first cute and cuddly entry in the genre.
Time OutFebruary 09, 2006It is consistently redeemed by its creator's dazzling sense of craft.
Chicago Sun-TimesOctober 23, 2004Hooper and Spielberg hold our interest by observing the everyday rituals of this family so closely that, since the family seems real, the weird events take on a certain credibility by association.
New York TimesMay 20, 2003Poltergeist is like a thoroughly enjoyable nightmare, one that you know that you can always wake up from, and one in which, at the end, no one has permanently been damaged. It's also witty in a fashion that Alfred Hitchcock might have appreciated.
Antagony & EcstasyOctober 25, 2014One of the 1980s' most distinctive and important horror movies.
Christian Science MonitorOctober 07, 2014The buildup is slow and deliberate, creating a vivid sense of love and warmth within the family who share the harrowing adventure.
Radio TimesSeptember 11, 2013Hooper's direction may lack its usual edgy personality -- apparently over-ruled by Spielberg's script suggestions -- but he puts on a dazzling show, and the intuitive performances are uniformly on the panic button.
People MagazineSeptember 11, 2013Hooper and Spielberg have worked long and hard to bring the ghost story to its fullest potential. They have succeeded.
Cinemaphile.orgJune 29, 2013"Poltergeist" is a lot more dedicated to its cause than most viewers today are probably used to. It builds to something of value. That may not make it the most profound film of its genre by any stretch, but it does make it one of the most memorable.
EmanuelLevy.ComFebruary 19, 2013Spielberg, here credited as producer as co-writer, shows the other (darker) side of suburbia in this horror film, made in the same year as the superior E.T.
