Simple and effective. The slightly off center works really well.

Good image and true to the poltergeist theme. Would like to have seen it in colour but overall it's one of my favorites this week. Good Luck, Todd. 9.

I didn't enter for this challenge, but I must say when I first read the challenge this is the first image that jumped into my head. I never did get around to doing it at all, but it looks like I would have had a lot of trouble trying to get a shot better than you did it, good one.

Nice capture of a tough subject...the lighting is almost perfect! Well done

My voting criteria for this challenge are:

1. Did you capture a scene from the movie (as the challenge brief states) or did you enter a picture and fit a title to it.
2. How close a rendition is your image to the movie.
3. How does the image stand up in its own right.

In this case:

1. Pretty safe to assume that you took this photo for the challenge and this film.
2. I think this is a good rendidtion of the scene, colour may have helped though.
3. Using the TV as the light source has unfortunately lead to under-exposure in most of the image, exposing for the head and body would have shown more detail in the image.

This is scary! Mabey the boy should have been more in the middle? Anyway great picture!

Pretty cool... Think I would have either cropped to fill the entire frame with the TV static (the black uneven border is kinda weird) -- or taken a bit wider shot where you could see the entire TV set and some other dark shadowy things in the room. Maybe a longer exposure so the glow from the TV would give off a cool lighting effect on other items in room.

Awesome job. 'cept the little girl is looking a little more masculine than i remember. :) one of my top votes so far. I like the thin white line inside your border, sets it off nicely. Pedro

Cool idea, and a nice result. I would've liked to see a girl, with long hair, to represent more closely the movie. I like this movie a lot, because it really scared me when I was a kid.
