Spirit
It was from this horror, the foundations of which was built by Steven Spielberg himself, that my passion for horror movies began. And it has remained so until today. The ghost tells the story of the Freeling family who moved into a new, what appears to be a haunted house, built on the site of a former Indian cemetery. Shortly after moving in, they begin to experience the presence of a malevolent entity that kidnaps Carol Anne, daughter of Steve and Diane, into the spirit world. Desperate parents use the help of a psychic to get their beloved child back. This film is the first horror film I have seen when I was only 6 years old, and that’s one of the reasons why I have a huge fondness for it and like to refresh this production at least once a year.
Although the movie is much less recognizable than such horror films as Nightmare on Elm Street , Friday the 13th , Halloween or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, it can still be counted among the classics of horror movies. An interesting fact is that there are many dark theories surrounding Hooper’s film, related to the death of the main character, 12-year-old Heather Michele O’Rourke, during the filming of the scenes for the third part of the trilogy. It is said that the production itself was cursed, and this curse was brought on by the creators of the horror movie, using real skeletons for its shooting, because the limited budget did not allow the purchase of plastic ones. It can be said that this is just a drop in the ocean that shows the uniqueness of this production! – Marcin Panuś
