Poltergeist

'Created' by Steven Spielberg yet officially directed by Tobe Hooper, Poltergeist (1982) is something of an anachronism. This Devil's Advocate explores its duality in both its production - a movie with the production values of a mainstream entertainment apparently directed by a subversive 'grindhouse' auteur - and narrative - taking the best and worst from both aspects of blockbuster cinema and cult horror, resulting in a unique text.
