Poltergeist (1982) Is a huge Spielberg "classic" or "masterpiece", or at least it is supposed to be. I will say this to start off with, the special effects in poltergeist are actually very cool and entertaining, especially for 1982. So that is one positive, impressive creative special effects and visuals! Also, the cast did well with their source material. But the big issue I took with the movie, was the bad script and boring pacing and how terribly non scary this is. It's so true that this movie has no scared at all, I did not jump once or feel scared or tense. Also, I just became bored many times throughout the movie, I was catching myself checking the time, and wishing it would hurry the heck up! Just goes to show you that good acting and special effects cannot be the only good things in a film, it must have a well put together script and the pace must be timed correctly. And if you are creating a horror film, here's a little hint, actually make it scary! 4/10 for Poltergeist.
