Ive always been confused with the whole Poltergiest situation...I don't know whether to see it as a Tobe Hooper film or a Steven Spielberg film...
Apparently Tobe Hooper had a breakdown on set and Steven Spielberg took over on the down low because of his contract with E.T...with Poltergeist you can see two different films..
I think its 60 percent Tobe Hooper 40 Percent Spielberg..there is a really horrific Tobe Hooper side, mixed with with the commercial family friendly Spielberg side...its a really odd film, its like two different directors competing. I cant believe it was PG movie
either way I think its one of the best film of the 80s..
And Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of the best psychological horror movies of all time, I love how it undermines its title. I always thought he could have been as big as Spielberg or James Cameron or Ridley Scott etc after Poltergeist but his career nose dived. he was an underrated director
