Poltergeist was originally directed by Tobe Hooper but this time around, it is Gil Kenan who is in the director's chair giving this classic horror film a more contemporary feel and bringing this terrifying story to a new generation.

Poltergeist is the third feature film of Kenan's career - coming after Monster House and City of Ember - and is set to be the biggest movie of his career to date. David Lindsay-Abaire - who wrote the scripts for Oz the Great and Powerful and Rise of the Guardians - is also on board having penned the screenplay.

A terrific cast has been assembled for the film as Sam Rockwell and Rosemarie DeWitt lead the cast as married couple Eric and Amy Bowen. They are joined by Jared Harris, Jane Adams, Saxon Sharbino, and Kennedi Clements.

Some brand new images from the film have been released by 20th Century Fox, and we have them for you to take a look at:

Legendary filmmaker Sam Raimi and director Gil Kenan contemporise 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.

Poltergeist is released 22nd May.
