New POLTERGEIST Movie Gets a PG-13 Rating
The MPAA has given the Sam Raimi-produced Poltergeist remake a PG-13 rating for “intense frightening sequences, brief suggestive material, and some language.”
The original film was rated PG, and it was absolutely terrifying. What's funny is that this PG-13 remake probably won't be as scary as the original movie. The remake was directed by Gil Keenan, who has directed films such as the CG animated family horror film Monster House and City of Ember.
Jared Harris stars in the film as a character named Carrigan, described as "a larger than life TV personality who left the world of academia behind to become the star host of basic cable TV show 'Haunted House Cleaners.'" The movie also stars Sam Rockwell, Rosemarie DeWitt, Saxon Sharbino, and Jane Adams as a family whose suburban home is invaded by a poltergeist. The attacks of the terrifying spirit escalate, and the youngest daughter is taken by them. With the help of Carrigan, the family have to come together to rescue her from the evil entities.
Even though I'm upset that this movie was remade, it still has an amazing cast and some talented people working on it. The movie will be released in 3D and is set to open in theaters on July 24th, 2015.
