Twentieth Century Fox has released its first trailer for producer Sam Raimi’s remake of Tobe Hooper’s 1982 supernatural blockbuster Poltergeist. Gil Kenan (Monster House) directs the film from a script written by David Lindsay-Abaire (Oz the Great and Powerful).

The official synopsis reads:

Sam Raimi (Evil Dead) 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.

Contrary to what Sam Rockwell suggested in comments in which he labeled the remake a “kid’s movie,” the trailer makes the film look pretty fun. The clown is pretty creepy and the new TV is bitchin’… what is that a 62″? Still, a midget medium is very much needed.

Peep it:
