If you watch the likes of Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elmstreet, don't pass on April Fool's Day. It's just as campy a horror film. Watching that as a child, I was so fascinated with the kitchen knife with the retractable blade.

So that's what it was! I couldn't really make up my mind about Poltergeist because there are scenes that are truly creepy but then the "family" theme comes out, which I think ruins the entire film.
That reminds me of Michele Soavi's La Chiesa. The horror aspect which is evident in his Stagefright and Dellamorte Dellamore was completely sabotaged with ridiculous plot twists, dialogue, and death scenes. Dario Argento's name was part of the credits. Surprise, surprise.
