Plot: Help, this place is haunted! Still today, this is an impressive horror-movie classic from Steven Spielberg with many special effects and heaps of spook-factor.

Televisions.com thinks:

Timeless excellence!

PICTURE QUALITY:
Excellent restoration for the Blu-ray release - you can't tell by looking at it that this movie is now over 25 years old: little noise, hardly any dropouts, and a stable, clear picture. Outdoor shots and brightly lit indoor scenes are crisp, but the picture deteriorates a little in gloomier sections.

(7 out of 10 points)

SOUND QUALITY:
No major problems here - a decent 5.1 mix.

(7 out of 10 points)

BONUS MATERIAL:
Very little on offer: "They Are Here: The Real World of Poltergeists Revealed" (31:05) - and that's it.
