Haunting New Trailer for POLTERGEIST
We've got a creepy new full trailer for Sam Raimi and Gil Kenan's Poltergeist remake for you to watch. This was a movie that I was completely against when it was first announced because I'm a huge fan of the original film that inspired it. But the more I see of this new movie, the more excited I get about watching it. It seems like the creative talent behind the film did a solid job of bringing the story to life. Talking about the film project in a previous interview, Kenan said,
“Whenever someone approaches material that’s so beloved, there’s a reflexive reaction to be worried. It’s a responsibility we take very seriously. We’re working to make a Poltergeist film that lives up to the original’s legacy. Unlike the traditional horror film, I wanted to put together a cast to give weight and reality to these characters. It’s the way to anchor the family. It’s such an emotional story at the core. Parents fighting to get their child back from the beyond.”
The story for the movie follows "a family whose suburban home is haunted by evil forces. When the terrifying apparitions escalate their attacks and hold the youngest daughter captive, the family must come together to rescue her before she disappears forever."
The movie stars Sam Rockwell (Eric Bowen), Rosemarie DeWitt (Amy Bowen), Saxon Sharbino (Kendra Bowen), Kyle Catlett (Griffin Bowen), Jared Harris (Carrigan), and Kennedi Clements (Madison Bowen). It will haunt theaters on July 24th.
