Now that DVDs are plan down in label, I’ve ended up with literally thousands–I believe. I have a tendency to resist the earlier releases, the ones that are obviously “cheapies” with no special features–I know that better editions are objective around the bend for most films! But I recently had to create an exception for “Poltergeist”. Now I had originally seen this film in a theater on its release. I have always considered it one of the best in its genre. I’ve seen it a couple of times since, but probably not at all in the last ten years (and for the record–all the sequels were dreadful) .

What amazed me was that I level-headed idea it was a terrific movie! Now, some people will deem a couple of the effects are cheesy–and for today’s standards, maybe they are. But they are so well integrated into the film that I don’t judge the recent viewer will mind. And I own films are historical documents–I disapprove that George Lucas, for example, has corrupted his films with constant CGI updates. It’s as sacrilegious as colorization was!
“Poltergeist” succeeds as a mountainous film due, in stout fraction, to it’s unrelenting suspense–but, in equal measure, it relies on us to care about the family eager. I consider the movie endures because it has heart and characters to actually root for. Craig T. Nelson and JoBeth Williams are mammoth (and believable) as the parents affected. Their appreciate for each other and their family, and their willingness to sacrifice anything for the safety of their kids is well presented and acted. Williams, in particular, has never been better. At first, she is your typical suburban Mom–but as peculiar things launch happening, you peruse her confusion, her delight, her dread, her fright, her desperation and her valiant side. It’s a very nice underrated performance. And Beatrice Strait and Zelda Rubenstein both give richer, more fully realized performances than I remembered.

Who’d have thought–all these years later–that it’s the characters of “Poltergeist” that have eminent it in my mind?
It’s time now! We need a Deluxe Version DVD. It’s hard to hold 2007 will label 25 years–that seems a fitting opportunity to honor a film that has stood the test of time. I’ll be first in line to upgrade. KGHarris, 9/06.
This is one of my well-liked movies, and I’ve reviewed the earlier DVD stutter elsewhere. My review this time is purely for the recent DVD reissue which is one of the biggest disappointments I’ve advance across. Let’s launch with this “25th Anniversary.” The only mention of the anniversary is a haphazardly placed sticker on the outer sleeve. The fact that it was honest slapped onto the box gives the buyer an understanding of how powerful understanding went into this unique DVD.
Then there are the extras. A documentary about true-life hauntings. Okay, that’s not dreadful. But wait - where’s the modern trailer for the film that was on the earlier DVD? It’s been removed. Did the trailer net sucked into Carol Anne’s closet and is being held captive by the Beast? What purpose did removing the trailer attend?
This is a pointless release. My advice is to hang onto the earlier release which is anamorphic AND has the trailer and skip this one; there will be another, hopefully better, release someday. Warner Brothers should be ashamed.
