PG13 if released now?


Could this be disneys 1st PG13 title, not POTC, PG13 just wasnt around in 1983 so it goes down as PG

reply

There is nothing PG13 about this film.

reply

I haven't seen this movie yet, but the title and plot don't sound very kid-friendly.

reply

What about the kid losing his head (literally) scene. Nowadays that would earn the movie an automatic "R".

reply

The hand splitting scene of Jason Robards, and some other very dark scenes of the film make it pretty intense and memorable, but if Poltergeist wouldn't be PG 13 neither would this.

Of course Poltergeist came out in 82, and the first PG 13 movie Red Dawn came out in 83.

This would definitely be PG-13 if released now, this is a product of that brief period when Disney was trying to make more "adult" movies and made dark, violent movies like this, Watcher in the Woods, and Dragonslayer.

This is DEFINITLY a PG-13 movie.

Still lurking about? Don't you people have homes?

This AND Poltergeist would have been rated PG-13 had the rating existed back then. People seem to forget that ratings aren't JUST about gore, language, and sex, but also adult themes.

Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

reply

Which Poltergeist had plenty of, JoBeth Williams near rape scene alone would give it a Pg-13 rating.

It should be rated R for arachnophobes! Yeesh...

I just watched this and was surprised by some of the content. It would certainly be PG-13 today based on the guillotine scene alone. Pretty sure one severed child's head would remove you from the PG running.

This would be rated R now.
