Yes the movie was scary but it looked more like a PG-13 rating. I hardly heard no cursing, it had no nudity/sexual scenes, and it wasn't that bloody
shareI didn't notice that it was rated (since it's a tv movie, don't know why it is).
You're right...it should be a pg-13. Maybe the people at the MPAA thought the ghosts' make-up was too gruesome, but there are plenty of examples of pg-13 movies w/ a lot more content which would warrant such a rating.
I'm glad it's R-rated. R-rated movies rock! PG-13 sucks.
sharethe original tv version from 1991 was rated tv-14 or something to that effect...but when it was released to European theaters it had a few extra minutes added giving it a soft R rating. also the movie was filmed in widescreen(i.e. letterbox),so the filmmakers most have known it would be released to theaters over seas,even though the originally tv viewing was in full screen. i hope this info helps.
shareThanks
shareThere's the scene where they cut a body to pieces and toss it off a bridge, I imagine that's why it's rated R

Yes I do remember that scene but that scene was also dark so it didn't look so bloody
