The 'Poltergeist' Trailer Is Here to Scare You (VIDEO)
The first trailer for the "Poltergeist" reboot is here, and just like the 1982 original, the flick looks scary as hell.
As the clip begins, we're introduced to the Bowen family, who just bought a new house. Unfortunately for them, it's situated on a cemetery, and the spirits within are none too pleased about the new residents.
Naturally, they start possessing the Bowens' young daughter, Maddie (Kennedi Clements), eventually stealing her away and wreaking havoc on the rest of the family. The Bowens bring in a paranormal investigator (Jared Harris) to help them take back their house and their daughter, though the man warns them that they've got a lot of work to do.
"They already know what scares you," Harris's character says of the spirits. Cue a shot of a creepy clown doll. (The spirits, evidently, also know what scares moviegoers.)
"Poltergeist" also stars Sam Rockwell, Rosemarie DeWitt, Saxon Sharbino, Kyle Catlett, and Jane Adams. It hits theaters (and your nightmares) on July 24.
