Poltergeist (1982)

A horror movie that entertains more than it scare. That probably has more to do with having Steven Spielberg on as a producer than anything. I have a feeling if Tobe Hooper was the only one involved it would have been much scarier.

The special effects are fantastic, I especially enjoyed the monster that they "pull" out of the closet and the bodies coming out of the ground.

It's really a typical haunted house set-up, a house was built on top of a cemetery. Now the ghosts are pissed off and they want revenge. The twist is the television, which is a speaker of sorts to the underworld. Their son annoyed me, he should've been forever sqaushed in the tree. But Craig T. Nelson, as always is great.
