Steven Spielberg Calls Poltergeist His ‘Land Jaws’

[@northwoodlandhills]

Poltergeist was so scary to me as a kid, great filmmaking with a heart.

[@ke707]

Just watched this movie on Amazon Prime, great movie took me back to my childhood. Heather O'Rourke (Carol-Ann) was amazing in all 3 movies, so sad she passed away so young at just 12 years old 💔 gone far too soon 🙏. She was a very talented little actress!

[@wheel631]

Yeah its some great filmmaking

[@JDL3777]

She was killed by Spielberg. Culkin confirmed

[@AwakenWorld999]

JUST A LITTLE GIRL.. surrounded by evil at a time when she needed a loving, guided hand. Forgiveness will come, one day.

[@PrivateDinosaurs]

…what?

[@stefanieprejean6609]

She wasn't really surrounded by evil. She was a character in a movie that was about ghosts. I am sure she knew that before accepting the role. She didn't have to act in it

@Josh Johnston Spielberg has a father-daughter relationship with Drew Barrymore to this day - both ther families are very close - he even appeared on her surprise birthday show last year and you could see the affection they both share for each other! shame we live in such a pessimistic suspicious world where an "adult" and a "child" cannot have a genuine friendship! without people screaming the "p" word

Steven Spielberg would make a fantastic Half - Life movie..

[@happyfox711]

He made half of this one.. Tobe Hooper directed the whole thing.

[@dswagnildpyro1313]

Leave That To J.J Abrams

[@joewhitehead3]

Way too many idiotic comments here. People act like they know everything

[@happyfox711]

Tobe Hooper shot the whole movie. Not Spielberg. Man how he's horny for credit.

[@BoxingFightsByGaryWilson]

Do you think Hooper directed Poltergeist? Many seem to think Spielberg secretly directed it, maybe it was a collaboration, i'm not decided myself.

[@joewhitehead3]

@@BoxingFightsByGaryWilson Wasn’t Spielberg shooting ET at the time?

[@BoxingFightsByGaryWilson]

@@joewhitehead3 Apparently Speilberg was contractually bound to solely direct ET, which prevented him from directing another movie on & around that period but there are conflicting reports on how he played the role of Producer on the Poltergeist set, as there was anticipation of a directors strike during the filming of Poltergeist & he basically directed the movie in order to avoid shutdown but again they are just rumours. I personally believed Speilberg was the true creative force behind Poltergeist until i read Warren Buckland's report on the subject matter, Buckland is an expert reader in film studies & film analysis & he painstakingly examined Poltergeist, comparing it with two of Hoopers films, namely Salems Lot & The Funhouse & also Speilberg's ET & Close Encounters & he was of the opinion that many of the shots used in Poltergeist, were in line with Hooper's previous efforts & that it was in fact a Tobe Hooper film.

[@joewhitehead3]

@@BoxingFightsByGaryWilson Sounds a bit complicated

[@wheel631]

Several cast and crew remember Spielberg directing them - at one point six days straight - the movie sure feels like a Spielberg movie
