Poltergeist

So yeah, I didn't really care for that one.

The other bad dream house adjacent film I saw was Poltergeist from 1982.

Quote unquote directed by Toby Hooper.

I didn't really know much about this film other than the famous sort of debate slash controversy about who made it.

But very glad I finally watched it.

Actually, at the Heavy Metal Fest, one of the lads was liking me as a self-described big horror fan.

I was like, I only just saw Poltergeist for the first time, which he couldn't believe.

And then I also said I just watched Hellraiser for the first time, which he also couldn't believe.

It's interesting, isn't it? The two kinds of 80s American movie.

I've seen Poltergeist and I was thinking about the suburbia of it and just thinking how comfortable that is and how Spielberg that feels.

And then thinking about the sort of city culture in Ghostbusters.

And I think partly... like rob what you were talking about i think partly it is the the um the not knowing not having the cultural context of america at that time and again as a kid like you know loads of things like just loads of things like having a doorman or even living in like flats like that it just apartments apartments excuse me you know see what i mean like there you go like loads of stuff like that um She lives on the corner penthouse.
