Not sure what to make of the fact that this poster for the Poltergeist remake is more unsettling than almost everything in the trailer. Have they just re-shot the very same screenplay from 1982, complete with identical dialogue and line readings? (Am I the last one to find out about this or is it not true?) If the only upgrade is to enlarge the haunted TV to 1080p and give us more digital trickery to replace the incredible practical effects of the original, then I can’t say that I’m much more excited to see this now than I was before. But yes, I’ll admit, somehow this year’s clown is scarier, even when he’s sitting still. Nearly as scary as seeing this uncanny clone of Heather O’Rourke who’s playing Carol Anne 2.0 — yikes, that’s some advanced movie technology.
