Kid reviews for Poltergeist

Well, frankly, I didn't want to watch the movie, but, my mom insisted, BORING!!!!!!! Don't even bother, watch SAW, Halloween, or the Exorcist, STUPID!!!! Get on my level, yea, get into the thrillers.

If you can watch Harry Potter it is fine for you.

I watched the poltergeist tonight with my family and towards the end I was terrified. It was an amazing film, I just found it scary. Only the bits at the end though. I’ve read other reviews and other people didn’t like the bit where the man pulls his face off. I just don’t like it when the boy gets strangled by the clown and I also don’t like it when I see the skeletons. I am a girl that gets scared easily so I would have waited until I was in my early teens but if you can get out of bed at 2am without looking under your bed then I would recommend this to you at about 10+ or if your brave then maybe 9+ but don’t watch it alone.Thats my review.

This movie is very bland to me, until the end. Things start to get creepy, dead bodies come up from the ground, and possessed clown dolls choking children. My one complaint about this movie is the use of marijuana, it's not crucial for this movie to contain it and is a very weird detail, not that this comes up a lot in the movie, it is just a useless detail.

This movie is one of the few scary movies I truly enjoyed.Though its scary,there are some positive messages of staying together as a family.Its a little too violent in some scenes.The scariest part in the movie for me was when the guy rips his skin and muscle of his face.Other than that, this is an exceptional scary movie!I HIGHLY recommend this classic 80's horror movie.

nothing bad but bad

Parents and kids should know that Poltergeist is a classic supernatural horror film about poltergeists that steal a couples daughter into the ghost dimension. The movie is great, although some of it's scares and effects are outdated, the movie does succeeded in making a strong sense of dread and helplessness as the family tries everything they can do to get heir daughter back while fighting literal demons and their own personal demons. The movie also plays on your childhood fears of lightning, the monster in the closet, the monster under the bed and your toys at night. The two parents in the family smoke marijuana. Sex isn't that much of an issue, but some older construction workers check out the teen daughter in an inappropriate way. For some comedic relief in the climax, the teen daughter arrives home with a hickey on her neck. Swearing is present and there is middle finger usage. The movie also deals with themes of loss of a family member and moving on from the past to cherish the present.

I think that this film is fine for 10+ because the graphics aren't great and I'm a scared cat but had no problem with this movie, if your child doesn't like fake blood or things that look like that I would recommend covering their eyes for the scene in the bathtub when the little girl and mom are pulled back.
