Poltergeist– rated PG

Watch it on: Netflix (free), Amazon Prime ($3.99), or Vudu($3,99)

This classic made in 1982 is perfect for anyone looking for a “thriller” or “horror” movie that isn’t too scary. While the movie is packed with explosions, monsters and paranormal activity, it isn’t exceptionally scary and looks outdated compared to some of the newer horror movies.  That being said, this is still a good movie that is more family-friendly than other horror movies. The story line follows a family who is visited by ghosts. At first these supposedly friendly ghosts entertain the family, but things quickly turn south when they start to terrorize them. Don’t watch if you are critical of special effects or want a scary movie that will keep you up all night.
