Sam Raimi and Gil Kenan team up in “POLTERGEIST” (3D)

Writer, producer and director Sam Raimi may be best known for his work on the Tobey Maguire-starring “Spider-Man” trilogy, but he got his break in 1981 as the director and writer of the cult horror classic, “The Evil Dead.” So for Raimi, working as producer on the “Poltergeist” remake is something of a journey home, a much welcome return to his roots.
 

THE “POLTERGEIST” (3D) CURSE: Lost and pissed off spirits felt during production

“Poltergeist” is director Gil Kenan (“Monster House”) and producer Sam Raimi’s (“Spider-Man” trilogy) 3D, contemporary take on writer Steven Spielberg and director Tobe Hooper’s 1982 classic, about a family whose youngest daughter is abducted by a poltergeist shortly after moving to a suburban neighborhood. 

Starring Rockwell as down-on-his-luck former minor-league baseball player Eric Bowen, it’s the story of an ordinary family dealing with extraordinary circumstances. When these angry spirits abduct Madison, their six-year-old, Eric and his wife Amy [Rosemarie DeWitt] recruit a team of scientists and psychics – including the clairvoyant reality star Carrigan Burke (Jarred Harris) – to get her back.
