20 Horror Films That Will Chill You To The Bone In 2015
19. Poltergeist
Normally, news of yet another horror movie remake would be cause for blogger vitriol and Hollywood slandering, but the new Poltergeist is a special case. For once, a horror movie reboot actually sounds pretty great, or, at least, promising enough to leave you cautiously optimistic. In the wake of hugely successful haunted house movies like Insidious and The Conjuring, a Poltergeist remake feels like a no-brainer. Thankfully, producer Sam Raimi loves the horror genre enough to stock it with top-shelf talent; the great Sam Rockwell co-stars here alongside the equally strong Rosemarie DeWitt. The script was written by a Pulitzer Prize winner (David Lindsay-Abaire), and its director is the man behind the lively animated kiddie-horror flick Monster House. While many have blasted the remake already for being "more of a kids movie," just keep in mind that the original film wasn't exactly a gorefest either (it was rated PG), but it still got the job done.
