Watch the First Trailer for the Poltergeist Remake

It's here. The first trailer for the remake of Tobe Hooper’s Poltergeist has arrived, and with it, the evil spirits of the Bowen home.

"Legendary filmmaker Sam Raimi (“Spiderman,” “Evil Dead”, “The Grudge”) and director Gil Kenan (“Monster House”) contemporize the classic tale about a family whose suburban home is haunted by evil forces. When the terrifying apparitions escalate their attacks and hold the youngest daughter captive, the family must come together to rescue her before she disappears forever."

Directed by Gil Kenan off a screenplay by David Lindsay-Abaire, and produced by Sam Raimi, Robert Tapert, and Roy Lee, the Poltergeist remake stars Sam Rockwell, Rosemarie DeWitt, Jared Harris, Jane Adams, Saxon Sharbino, Kennedi Clements, and Kyle Catlett. Rockwell and Rosemarie DeWitt star as the Bowen parents and their children are played by Sharbino, Clements and Catlett. Harris plays the star of a TV show titled Haunted House Cleaners and Adams plays a parapsychologist that tries to help the Bowens. 20th Century Fox will release the Poltergeist remake in 3D on July 24th.
