	Poltergeist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Poltergeist phenomena are a focus of study within parapsychology.
		According to yet another opinion, ghosts and poltergeists are "recordings." When there is a powerful emotion, sometimes at death and sometimes not, a recording is believed to be "embedded" in a place or, somehow, in the "fabric of time" itself.

	Poltergeist
		Poltergeist projected objects invariably finish up at a lower level than the one they were at originally, there-by using the minimum amount of energy; such objects are not usually seen to commence movement, and the human eye seems to be a deterrent.
		Poltergeist disturbances do not seem to occur when the young person in the case is enjoying a normal sleep, and so it would appear that the higher centres of the brain are in some way involved.
		In practically every authenticated case of poltergeist activity, an adolescent or child has been present in the house, or associated closely with the house, and frequently, the child has been shown to be under some sort of stress at the time the incidents occur.

	About Poltergeists
		Similar to the large scale poltergeist effects, these micro-effects appear to be a form of stress-relief or a reflection of the mood of the agent, and the type of effect is often a clue as to the nature of the stress.
		Poltergeist activity tends to stop when the stress is identified, addressed or released, or when the stressful situation itself is identified, altered or ended.
		Poltergeist activity also tends to stop when the agent realizes he or she is responsible for the phenomena (and especially if the agent accepts responsibility for it).

		The studies have discovered that most of the poltergeist agents are females under the age of twenty who are totally unaware that they are involuntarily directing the poltergeist energy.

	Classic-Horror Review of Poltergeist (1982)

		On the third hand, things like ghosts scare her, and when I suggested we head down to the dingy, dirt-floored cellar of our building just for the hell of it after the film, she quickly declined, so it's hard to read exactly what her thoughts were.
		Poltergeist is a horror film, and where other writers would either forgo the dramatic and character development or focus on it in a postmodern derailment (like American Beauty, say), Spielberg is just laying out pizza dough so the meat and toppings have something to rest on.

		Poltergeist (1982) is a memorable supernatural horror film from co-producer/co-writer Steven Spielberg who teamed with director Tobe Hopper (known for his cult horror classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)).
		Compared to both films, Poltergeist was the dark flip side for Diane and Steve Freeling (Williams and Nelson) in the Cuesta Verde housing development of suburban California, with ordinary objects that turned threatening (for example, a suburban tract dream home, a backyard tree, a favorite doll, a closet, and a TV screen).

	POLTERGEIST:
		There’s an eerie parade of poltergeists in chiffons of light marching down the Freelings staircase to the climactic scene as a huge, bright, nuclear-colored mouth strives to suck the Freeling children into their closet.
		Poltergeist’s precise timing with such effects makes it completely unpredictable as far as what is to come.
		Poltergeist reflects a lot of the fears that most of us grow up with: seeing scary shadows from the light in your closet, making sure your feet are not dangling over the bed, forming scary images of the objects in your room.

		Poltergeist, which came out the same summer as Spielberg's E.T., is very much a product of its time.
		The Poltergeist series is also infamous for its "curse," which includes a number of serious mishaps during filming, and the deaths of several actors who appeared here or in the sequels.
		Both of these untimely deaths were tragic enough without idiot tabloids (of both the print and televised varieties) insulting the dignity of the departed by implying the involvement of spooky supernatural agencies.

		"Poltergeist" succeeds as a great film due, in large part, to it's unrelenting suspense--but, in equal measure, it relies on us to care about the family involved.
		Ironically, the two daughters in the film suffered tragic deaths: Dominique Dunn, the older daughter, was murdered by her boyfriend the year POLTERGEIST was released and angelic little Heather O'Rourke succumbed to abdominal stenosis some 6 years later.
		POLTERGEIST is certainly better than most of the horror fodder out there today, and it does have some scary moments.

	Poltergeist (1982) - Channel 4 Film review
		Spielberg claimed he handed over this project to buddy Tobe Hooper (still best known for his 1974 debut, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre), who is officially credited as director, but rumours persist that it was Spielberg who called the shots on set.
		Poltergeist certainly feels more like a Spielberg than a Hooper movie - those quintessentially American suburban settings (all wide streets and dusty backlots; like the settings of the contemporaneous E.T. they closely resemble the environments of the Spielber's Arizona youth), the gently comic touches and the rather whimsical nature of all the spectres on display.
		At first this takes the form of your classic poltergeist activity (moved furniture, that kind of thing), but it becomes weirder.

		In the 1930s the psychologist and psychic researcher Nandor Fodor suggested the theory that poltergeist disturbances were caused not by spirits but by individuals suffering intense repressed anger, sexual frustration, and hostility.
		This psychological dysfunction theory has been supported by other research indicating that in a significant number of reported disturbances, the agent was a child or teenager possibly unconsciously unleashing hostility without fear of punishment.
		Psychological profiles of agents show that mental and emotional stress, personality disorders, phobias, obsessive behavior and schizophrenia are linked to supposed poltergeist phenomena, and in some cases psychotherapy has eliminated the poltergeist disturbances.

		From that moment forward, the younger children’s bedroom becomes a locus of constant high-level poltergeist activity, to the extent that it is unsafe even to set foot over the threshold.
		That reticence on the filmmakers’ parts permits Poltergeist to play as broad a field of supernatural manifestations as possible without suffering from the sort of logical inconsistencies that helped scupper The Amityville Horror.
		Neither man seems to have been nimble enough as a filmmaker to shift gears smoothly between the Spielberg moments and the Hooper ones, and the strain is clearly visible, especially in the climax, when the entity in the house rallies its energies after the setback of losing Carol Anne.
