Hello guys, I'm here to explain to you why you should watch this great horror movie. Let's begin shall we?
First of all, I really really reaaally enjoy watching horror movies, even though I get scared easily and probably will refuse to go to the bathroom if it's too dark, lol. In other words: I'm a chicken. But this is not the case guys I promise you, this movie is not that scary, actually I found it magnificent and fantastic let's see why...
Note: This is spoiler-free
-You know something is wrong when the movie starts:
I think this is a clever way to introduce you to the movie, not wasting time explaining character back stories that are not going to be relevant later on. The movie shows us something inusual, and we start to ask ourselves some questions like: What is it? Why is that happening? What is the character doing?
-All the interactions between the characters, are important:
The movie focuses on the Freeling's, just a regular family, all of the major events occurs on their house. We watch how they act, how they talk, and all of those silly things that the Director wants us to watch. Those scenes are more than character back stories, they create a bond between the family and the viewer, we start to understand their principles and emotions, we feel that we can relate to them in some way.
-Coincidence? I don't think so:
I mentioned this before, the little things are so important, maybe you just saw something that grabbed your attention, but you gave it up because it was just a regular scene, but later on you realized that it was a hint for the next scene. All of the elements are there, you just need to connect them and enjoy.
-Explaining the unknown:
As in other horror films, the main characters can't identify or try to explain what is happening, that's when the specialists appear. What I love about this, is that in Poltergeist they actually have valid points and the knowledge to addres what's going on, they are not overrated, they are there to be part of the family.
-Really good special effects:
I know I know, it's an 80's movie, but that's the reason why I'm mentioning this. I loved how they show the stuff they wanted to show with the technological advances they had at that time. I found it really great, not exaggerating everything with annoying jumpscares (Those are really popular today).
Whelp, I think these are all of the point I can do without spoiling anything. Maybe there are more, but I don't consider myself a movie expert or critic, these are sincere opinions, I'm just a regular person hehe, I hope this helped you to finally decide to watch the movie, I know that you'll enjoy it.
Don't forget to share you own reasons to watch the movie, it'll be very interesting to know. And if you've already seen it tell us if you liked it! Thanks for reading!
Bye! See ya in another post!
