Before we show you the first trailer for the highly anticipated remake, a recent interview with Rockwell has us a bit confused. The actor explained that the film was more of a kids' movie rather than a horror flick.

"The 10-year-old boy is really the protagonist this time. JoBeth Williams was the protagonist for the most part in the first one and now the kid, it's really through his point-of-view," the actor said in an interview with Collider last month. "So it's more of a kids' movie so I don't know if it's gonna be like rated-R scary."

So if Rockwell is telling the truth, why is this trailer so scary? Was he just wrong or is the trailer selling us a different film? Check out the first trailer for the Poltergeist remake right here:
