10 Movies That Influenced 'A Ghost Story'2 of 10
'Poltergeist' (1982)
"This is a movie I watch every year on or around Halloween. Two-thirds of the way through A Ghost Story, there’s an entire sequence that is basically a remake of Poltergeist from the ghost’s point of view. There are also some visual effects in the film, such as a portal to another world, that were deliberately intended to look like visual effects from Poltergeist. Even in the screenplay, I described it as looking like 'a glowing portal from Poltergeist.'"
