The rating for this movie is: Suggested MPAA rating: PG-13 for Mature Thematic Material, Violence, Some Disturbing Images, Brief Sexuality & for Brief Strong Language so I don't really see it as too transgressive in any way for our daughter. Not to get into a parenting debate, but we process everything at our household, and I mean everything, and daughter has a pretty astute head on her shoulders.  She would rate this movie as "casual" as far as horror movies go. She has access to the library and she's very aware of what is too adult for her and what isn't. We negotiate everything else inbetween and she adheres to our standards independently. She also was very there for the post movie follow up chat which included a very interesting discussion around parent child dynamics, child rearing and how tame and relaxed her family was comparatively. interesting convo followed around decompenstation and what happens when people lose their grasp on reality. She greatly enjoyed the storyline and plot aspects of this flick as it is a sophisticated feminist analysis and she's thoughtful enough to acknowledge and understand those parts as we deconstruct.


I don't see anything wrong with it . My son would never be able to watch such things. He took in Dr. Who Christmas movies with mom as we had popcorn and chills. She is a horror aficionado and rejects cheap gore and also understands that images are just images, as well as which images are disturbing and where do such images belong. If she was having bad dreams or not playing her saxophone because of image disturbance then that would be a different story but I would rank this movie as pretty light, but with some good sensations of dread all the way through. Knowing the difference between real life disturbance and horror entertainment is important. She feels that surgery is something that interests her greatly and so we do the occasional knee and hand surgery together but i'm mostly bored by such things. No one should ever watch things that disturb them or will worry them - household rule.
