I don't have a problem showing her certain horror films - it's not like I'd ever show her CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST or something like that. She saw HOUSE a few months back and loved it. The only problem is I get moaned at by my sisters and when I remind them that I've been watching horror since I was about 4 their answer is usually 'yeah, and look how you turned out!':eek::D All kids should watch horror films, it's a great part of growing up. |

As long as you deliver some kind of "commentary" like "This scene was fake. They used blablabla to achieve this effect...Never do this to your classmates.", you should prevent the worst. :nod: But for my taste, seven years is a bit too young for a start. It also depends on your niece, of course - I don't know how clever and how forward she is. Judging from your posts, she's possibly brisk and quick like a ten year old. That would mean you're on the safe side. Greetings! PS: Evil Dead II is quite funny - but it's definitely not the masterpiece people make you believe. It's the same with Shaun of the Dead - everybody thinks it's the funniest movie ever, but in fact you only get a mediocre flick with a few nice laughs. PPS: :focus: |

She's very grown up for her age which is why I let her watch it. I know she wont be traumatised by it or anything. In fact she even laughed at some of the FX. Like I said, I would never, ever show her anything like CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST or something similarly extreme. |
Its not a lot different to me watching Doctor Who as a 5 ,6,7 year old in the seventies. There was no video then and the only horror on tv tended to be Hammer, Amicus, Universal etc. Children today live in a very different media led world to the seventies, i mean Hollywood produces pg horror films (Prom Night, Twilight etc) and kid friendly scares such as Buffy and Charmed. which are directly aimed at children. |
The MGM R1 DVD of Squirm looks fantastic! Great film. And I had forgotten how lovely Patricia Pearcy was! |
watched Liam Neeson film Unknown last night which was pretty good, not really on the level of Taken but has a pretty good car chase in it. Then i watched The Cowboys starring John Wayne, great western about a rancher who hires a group of kids to help him get his cattle 400 miles. Bruce Dern is very evil as the villain. One of Waynes best performances... |
