Thread: why do you think there making all the newer "scary" movies pg-13??

Heaven forbid there actually be a movie worthy of a R rating due to violence. More so in Horror. I think they're just trying to milk this "cash cow" as much as possible, and not getting much if you ask me.

i think its become much more difficult to scare modern audiences. what i see now is a lot of shock value, not real terror. i cant remember the last time was really scared in the theater.

You've definatly got a point there. I think the more modern and mature society grows, superstitions seem to fade away, kinda sad really, cuz I don't think I've ever been scared in a movie theatre.

Exactly. They don't know how to scare people so they try and shock them instead. The problem with going for the 'shock' scare is that the more you see the more desensitized you become. They have to keep uping the ante just to get the same affect. If they really scared you (suspense) it wouldn't be temporary.

The scariest movie I saw growing up was 'Watcher In The Woods'. Everytime they cut the background music I would crawl under my seat because I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS COMMING! I never got that stomach dropping chill from 'Something Wicked This Way Comes'.

More teens like horror.

I don't think anyone can really get scared of a movie unless they had one of those interactive movies where you feel the environment around you, kinda like those disney 3D movies in DisneyWorld.

Maybe it contains some kind of a "hard to understand for kids" things. Like killers, ghosts, adult materials and stuffs. Kids 13 above can understand some of those I think..lol.. Or maybe its just about money.
