They're Here
Contains spoilers, click to show
Poltergeist- is one of my favorite movies of all time and is one of my favorite horror movies of all time.
By the way this movie was PG, yes this movie was PG and it came from the director of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". Its also produced by Steven Spielberg.
The sink sence, is so disturbing and gross and not sure why this movie wasnt rating R.
Also the clown sence is also a very scary moment.
Is some great memorable lines like:
"They're Here"
"You can't choose between life and death when we're dealing with what is in between."
"Poltergeist are usually associated with an individual. Hauntings seem to be connected with an area, a house usually."
Poltergeist is scary, terrorfying, frighting, horrorfying, memorable and overall a excellent supernatural horror film.
One that horror fans should watch.

Meh
This movie had some potential but didn't live up to it. The idea wasn't bad but it just turned out to be a watered down version of "Poltergeist". The acting was just ok and the cinematography was about the same. Nothing really scary about this horror film though. The story moved along pretty slow with nothing too spectacular to offer. If you're really bored this one is an ok time waster. But overall, not really worth a watch.

Phenomenal story (1 more)
Sound Cast
Wow, just wow...
What can i say about this fantastic tv show? The first season shocked the world by becoming a massive hit with sci-fi and horror fans alike. This young cast has amazing chemistry and the writers created something special. It took me on a trip down memory lane reminding me of things like the goonies and stand by me crossed over with alien and poltergeist. Season 2 picks up exactly where season 1 ended and continues to deliver a cracking story and I look forward to what these guys can do next.

Poltergeist is a stone cold classic in so many ways. It has that Spielberg blockbuster shine whilst simultaneously being a scary Tobe Hooper film. It has some absolutely incredible special effects that make way for some of the most memorable moments in horror history. It has a cast of extremely likable characters who you want to see come out on top. It has a wonderful Jerry Goldsmith score.
It's one of those movies that has stuck with me since childhood and still blows me away now. A timeless slice of cinema that will always rank amongst the best of the genre.

This review can also be found on my blog <a href="http://themisadventuresofatwentysomething.blogspot.co.uk">The (Mis)Adventures of a Twenty-Something Year Old Girl</a>.
Poltergeeks by Sean Cummings was such a light, refreshing read. I won this book off of a blog competition, and I'm so glad I did. I absolutely loved it!
Julie Richardson is a 15 year old witch. She's her mother's apprentice. However, when her mother's soul is stolen by something evil, Julie must step up and try to do everything in her power to save her mother. In the process, she is also putting her own life in danger as an evil poltergeist is after her, one who hates witches. This poltergeist will stop at nothing to make sure Julie is dead.
I love the title to this book. I don't think it suits the book 100%, but it's a funny title. I don't really understand where the geek bit comes in as there was no mention of any kind of geek. Julie's best friend Marcus is a bit of a geek but that's about it.
The cover of the book is awesome! I think it matches the story very much. Julie looks to be levitating (which she seems to do a lot in this book against her will), and she's got her trusty amulet that helps her to focus her magic. The cover of this book reminds me of the scene when she's in the old lady's house trying to rid it of poltergeist activity.
I love the pacing of this book!! It kept my attention throughout every chapter. I don't think there was one chapter where I felt bored. The pacing of the book is on track all the way through.
The world building and setting were great. I loved how it took place in a normal town in normal Canada. The setting of the high school where the poltergeist activity takes place is my favourite. =)
The dialogue was easy to understand. However, there are quite a bit of swear words in this book so be warned if you're not big on swearing. I don't think there were too many swear words, nothing over the top or anything. I think the swearing fit in with how 15 year old kids would talk.
I loved all the characters!!! Julie was such a funny character, and I mean funny in the haha sense. I loved her comic timing!! I thought it was brilliant. I loved how Marcus was always into his science how how shocked he was when he couldn't scientifically explain the paranormal goings-on. Betty brought in some humour as well, and I thought she represented a guardian quite well. As for Marla, I don't really like the way the author portrayed her as the stereotypical goth. I've always been irked when goths are stereotyped so that's one thing that got on my nerves.
The plot was really good. I felt it was semi-original as well. It was a bit predictive though, and I already had it figured out who the bad guy was, but it was still a great story nonetheless.
Overall, I felt that Poltergeeks was a great read, and I'd definitely recommend it for those ages 15+. I'm looking forward to the second book in the series coming out!
I'd give this book a 4.5 out of 5.
