A gentle reminder that the TV Adaption of IT is rated PG-13 and managed to traumatize FAR more children then any rated R project could
Alt: It (also known as Stephen King's IT) is a 1990 ABC two-part psychological horror drama[1] miniseries directed by Tommy Lee Wallace and adapted by Lawrence D. Cohen from Stephen King's 1986 novel of the same name. The story revolves around a predatory monster that can transform itself into its prey's worst fears to devour them, allowing it to exploit the phobias of its victims. It mostly takes the humanoid form of Pennywise, a demonic clown. The protagonists are The Lucky Seven, or The Losers Club, a group of outcast kids who discover Pennywise and vow to kill him by any means necessary. The series takes place over two different time periods, the first when the Losers first confront Pennywise as children in 1960, and the second when they return as adults in 1990 to defeat him a second time after he resurfaces.
Tim Curry always played above the rating. He was a full letter grade scarier than what the MPAA indicated.
It truly did. And the worst part? I don't even what happened in the movie!
Mommie Dearest (1981). I was fully an adult when I found out this was a biopic and not a horror movie. Also, I found out researching this reply that this movie initially was rated R, but the filmmakers somehow got it downgraded to PG uncut. Insane.
