				"It lies to her, it 
				tells her things only a child could understand. It has been 
				using her to restrain the others. 
				To her, it simply is 
				another child. To us, it is the Beast." - Tangina

				Nightmares come to life in this disturbing, apparition-filled 
				experience. 
				Plot Summary: 
				The Freeling family's seemingly normal suburban home becomes the 
				site of increasingly strange and frightening supernatural 
				occurrences. These manifestations initially seem playful, but 
				they quickly turn menacing, eventually leading to the 
				disappearance of the youngest daughter, Carol Anne. Desperate to 
				rescue her, the family enlists the help of paranormal 
				investigators and a spiritual medium to confront the malevolent 
				forces that have invaded their home. Dad's Preview: 
				Everyone loves a good ghost story. This is Spielberg's version 
				and it is full of spooky moments: a creepy clown doll, a little 
				girl kidnapped, corpses in the swimming pool, a terrifying 
				demon. One strength of the film is the family being besieged.  
				With all the crazy and unnatural things happening around them, 
				they stick together.  A great reveal at the end explains 
				why the spirits are so angry. This is certainly one to watch... 
				with the lights on.
