Fred 10/13/2024 Man, this is a GOOD movie. Nowadays I only hope for solidly mediocre. No boring parts. Great character development. Freely, but not too gory, we'll except for one dream sequence where a guy tears his own face off. Very California 1980s growing up - R.C. Cars, T.V. remotes new technology, Televisions going off air at night after the National Anthem, etc See more geminielsy 10/13/2024 One of the best movies it still gave me the chills.

The insane effects and destruction is fantastic and it’s all throughout which is great. Amazing performances from all involved, particularly a very young Heather O’Rourke who seems natural in the role of Carol Anne, "they’re here" is one of the most iconic lines in horror. Highly recommend, it’s a classic. See more Bret M. @BretM-3 Mar 12 A lot of people love this movie. It's pretty good, but I don't like this movie the way most people do. I have one major complaint: IT'S SO SLOW. If you look up slow burn in the dictionary, this movie would be listed under examples. There are such long stretches where nothing happens. No ghosts, no poltergeists, and no hauntings. During one of these long stretches, I almost fell asleep, I was that bored. But the scenes where something is actually happening I thought were really cool. Also, I think it's misleading to call this a horror film. It has horror elements, but it feels more like a spooky movie the whole family can watch. The only part of this movie that was really scary were the clown scenes. Have to admit that the final part of the movie is good. The effects look pretty good for a movie from 1982. The acting is good but nothing to really rave about. The plot reminds me of a simpler version of Insidious. Final thoughts: The movie is good if you can make it past the boring parts.

While film buffs love to debate the behind-the-scenes "creative influence" of producer Steven Spielberg, it doesn't matter who actually directed it; the end result is a solid haunted house film that serves as a better family drama than most non-horror features of its era.
