It's sad how the older people get, the less they remember how much fun it was to get scared as a kid. The television "personalities" bitching about how "bad" this film is for kids are all in thier 50s or older. How many of us are here because we saw a scary movie when we were young and it sort of blew our minds? Kids are resiliant - even more so than adults, it's in their wiring.

I was going to see Rated R films when I was 8 and I'm a realtively normal husband and father. No mental/emotional scars here.

I remember full well how thrilling it was to watch a horror movie when I was a child. The movies that are made now are way more intense than the movies when I was in grade school - heck, even high school for that matter.
