Creepy First Footage and Poster from New POLTERGEIST Film
Yesterday we shared some photos from the new Poltergeist film that is being produced by Sam Raimi and directed by Gil Kenan. Today we have a creepy little tease showing the first footage from the film, and then apparently tomorrow we will get a trailer to watch!
The footage below shows a scene in the film that takes a page from the original 1982 film, and it's a fun short clip that I enjoyed. I won't spoil it for you, but fans are either going to embrace it or push it away.
As a huge fan of the original film and the talented individuals who are involved with developing this new movie, it's hard for me not to be excited. Then I see footage like this, and I'm sold. This movie really could offer some solid scares.
Raimi and Kenan reimagine the classic tale about a family whose suburban home is invaded by angry evil spirits. When the terrifying apparitions escalate their attacks and take the youngest daughter, the family must come together to rescue her.
The movie stars Sam Rockwell, Rosemarie DeWitt, and Jared Harris. It's set to haunt theaters on July 24th. I'm happy to see that the film is allowing itself to be inspired by the original film, but I hope they they take the scares even further. Check out the clip and let us know what you think!
