Poltergeist
dir. Tobe Hooper · 1982
The Freelings' idyllic suburban life is shattered when their home becomes a battleground for malevolent forces, starting with innocuous disturbances that quickly spiral into chaos. Watching it is like being drawn into a nightmare where the familiar becomes terrifying, and the bonds of family are tested against an unseen, relentless threat.
Life is very pleasant for the close-knit Freeling family until a host of otherworldly forces invades their peaceful suburban home. It starts with just an odd occurrence or two to the amusement of everyone, but soon their house is turned into a swirling supernatural sideshow. The forces at work are anything but friendly, and if the luckless Freelings don't clear out soon, they'll all be swept off into nightmarish chaos.
