When viewing the studio's promotional trailer for the upcoming 4K Blu-ray release, please make sure to set resolution to 2160p/4K. Poltergeist features two separate audio options; the default is a DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio remix that, on the surface, sounds like a simple port I guess they will look nice on the shelf next to all those unopened pop vinyls that will never know what it's like to breathe air.

Poltergeist's 40th anniversary with a long-awaited 4K edition (which even includes a remastered Blu-ray not available separately), one whose Das Haus der Familie Freeling wird von dämonischen Geistern heimgesucht. Zuerst noch ganz unterhaltsam wird der Terror immer mehr, bis schließlich ihre jüngste Tochter von einem Poltergeist „gekidnappt“ wird. Without diving too deep into the discussion of who actually directed Poltergeist, there is no denying that the production undoubtedly displays Steven Spielberg's signature style, flaunting his familiar tropes and oozing in that unmistakable Spielbergian atmosphere. But the more impressive aspect of this now-classic supernatural thriller is how smoothly that style gels with Tobe Hooper's own aesthetic and camerawork, creating a unique viewing experience where a horror film is both scary and strangely family-friendly. This is one of the great horror movies that can be watched with the entire family. As he demonstrated in his cult classic The Funhouse, Hooper bides his time in building up an ominous tone and mood, allowing the story to unfold organically where the frights and nightmarish visuals enjoy equal weight as the drama anchoring this fantastical tale about a family confronted by the possibility of life after death. In fact, the story begins with an uncomfortable conversation about death after the family pet bird dies. So, Poltergeist ends up being much more than a mere horror-sampler for teens to break into the genre with. It possesses a wonderful “spiritual” ambience, a daring flare for visual invention, a staggering level of visceral intensity and a true sense of the fantastique.NOTE: Both the 4K and Blu-ray discs in this release feature the same audio options, reviewed below.
Poltergeist was shot on 35mm film using Ultracam 35 cameras and has received a 4K scan and clean-up forming a new 4K DI, from which this UHD is sourced. Als ich den Film nun auf Blu-Ray nach vielen Jahren wieder einmal gesehen habe, ist mir die Qualität des Films jedoch erst richtig bewusst geworden. Neben der sehr gelungenen Geschichte, die seinerzeit von Steven Spielberg produziert wurde, überzeugt Tobe Hoopers flüssige und natürliche Inszenierung. Über allem stehen jedoch Schauspieler, denen man in jeder einzelnen Szene die große Freude ansieht, mit der sie bei der Arbeit waren. So macht es viel Spaß, Craig T. Nelson und Jobeth Williams dabei zuzusehen, wie sie versuchen, sich und ihre Kinder vor dem Bösen zu schützen. Auch die "kleinen" Darsteller wissen sehr zu gefallen, wie z.B. Dominique Dunne und vor allem die kleine Heather O'Rourke. Dass beide Jungdarstellerinnen schon sehr früh gestorben sind, führte übrigens dazu, dass im Zusammenhang mit POLTERGEIST auch lange Zeit von einem bösen Fluch die Rede war. While not containing the most original of ideas, Poltergeist, did catapult into the mainstream conscience certain cinematic devices, ideas, if you will: that disturbing ancient burial grounds is generally a bad thing, and that clowns are scary. The latter is interesting, in that up until 1982 cinema rarely explored (exploited?) this, oh He Who gets Slapped (1924) or The Man Who Laughs (1928) might have dabbled in the idea with some stark imagery, but it took that scene in Poltergeist to unleash a torrent of scares and all the subsequent movies based on this one simple, terrifying, concept. Dennis has offered his thoughts on Robert Z. Leonard’s Ziegfeld Girl (1941) on regular Blu-ray Disc from our friends at the Warner Archive Collection.Der Film wurde für 3 Oscars nominiert: Beste visuelle Effekte, bester Tonschnitt und beste Filmmusik (Jerry Goldsmith), musste sich aber in allen 3 Kategorien E.T.- Der Außerirdische (Regie: Steven Spielberg!) geschlagen geben. they'll immediately strike viewers as impressive, especially on an OLED or even LCD screen with reliable local dimming.

Der Ton kann mit dem Bild leider nicht mithalten, denn auf der Scheibe landete lediglich ein deutscher 2.0 Stereoton, welchen mein Denon Verstärker auf einen schönen und effektiven Dolby Surround Sound aufgeblasen hat. :) Für das Alter ist der Ton schon in Ordnung, auch wenn hier noch viel Luft nach oben wäre. special effects often supporting the story and its characters rather than distracting from them. It's also inarguably due to the involvement of Of course, there’s a different element of Poltergeist that provides the single biggest reason why it works, and it’s one that tends to get overlooked. Without a solid family dynamic at the heart of the film, everything else would have been little more than sound and fury, signifying nothing. The Freeling household is a credible family unit, and without having that to anchor the film, the supernatural shenanigans wouldn’t work nearly as well as they do. The action may not be believable, but the family dynamic is, and that’s what keeps audiences grounded even when the film goes on its flights of fancy. Yet it’s not really the children who matter. Heather O’Rourke is fine as Carol Anne, and both Oliver Robins and Dominique Dunne make adequate siblings for her, but everything depends on Craig T. Nelson and JoBeth Williams as Steven and Diane Freeling. Carol Anne may have become the face of the franchise, but Steven and Diane were its heart and soul. Nelson and Williams have a natural, easygoing chemistry with each other that works on multiple levels. They don’t just make a plausible couple; they make plausible parents as well, and that’s the real key to Poltergeist. Even when the dialogue fails them, the sincerity of their performances manages to sell it anyway—Williams manages to take that cringeworthy line about Carol Anne passing through her soul, and play it with utterly believable conviction. There’s an argument to be made that the film could be called “Craig T. Nelson and JoBeth Williams’ Poltergeist.” James Karen (1923-2018, The Return of the Living Dead) als Stevens Boss Mr. Teague: "Wir haben schon Vorkehrungen getroffen, wie man den Friedhof verlegen kann." - "Sie scherzen!

Hell I’m watching this Cursed Films special from AMC right now on the Poltergeist series. I didn’t remember Heather O’Rourke died before ending of P3 and they talked, very emotionally of how she passed and thought P3 should never have been released and especially using a double which never showed her face at end, which writers hated that ending bc it wasn’t theirs and thought it was insult to both Heather and Dominique Dunn, which prompted thread btw. Two points need to be mentioned about both the master used for this 4K presentation, and the disc itself. The first is that this isn’t quite the original theatrical version of the film. The infamous jump cut at 34:13 is still present, of course, as some dialogue about Pizza Hut was removed long before Poltergeist ever hit home video in any version. (Whether or not the dialogue was actually present in theatrical prints is a debate for another time.) That’s old news, but the new changes involve digital fixes like the ones that were performed for the Indiana Jones series. Wires have been removed, the dog trainer has been erased from the opening of the film, and a few other mistakes like that have been corrected. There are still a few that haven’t, like the reflection in the toaster when the crew members swapped chairs offscreen for the table gag, but the most prominent ones are now gone.
