Just for funsies.
There’s lots of films that took away our childhood innocence… for me the two that really alarmed me were Jurassic Park (seeing that severed arm) and Robocop (… ‘nuff said!). I’ve also heard of children in 2024 screaming of being upset for weeks re: the T-Rex… so it’s still very frightening for some.
But when would you should your own children some of these classic childhood ruining films? To what extent is seeing their horror, and passing on the cycle, worth it? Obviously, it depends on the kid but we can generalise.
Feel free to add your own films but here’s a short list…
Robocop: this is probably 12 years old minimum!
Jurassic Park: 8 years old
Raiders of the Lost Ark (face melting goodness): 8 years old
Jaws (dat eyeball): 8 years old
Or have any of you made the mistake of thinking your kids could handle it and they couldn’t?
Discuss, etc!
