| Horror 100 No. 72 (Previously No. 73). Spielberg strikes again! If you weren't content with 'Jaws', 'Close Encounters', 'Raiders of the Lost Ark', and 'ET', then you might enjoy this chilling account of the supernatural. Producer/screenwriter Spielberg handed the directors job to the man responsible for 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre', Tobe Hooper, who did a sterling job with the horror sequences, but that familiar sugar-coating is all Speilberg. A middle-class suburbian family (ala ET) are subjected to uncanny events in their home. Soon the young daughter (Heather O'Rourke) is sucked into another dimension by a supernatural entity that occupies the TV set. The special effects are great (check out the face ripping scene), but this film has build up a reputation for more sinister reasons. Both O'Rourke and Dominque Dunne were murder by people close to them, creating rumours of a curse (the same was sais of the 'Exorcist'). The film spawn two sequels and a TV series in the late nineties. |
