lol at all the internet tough gaiyz saying "lol showing a comedy film?"
just because it isn't scary for you, doesn't mean it isn't scary for someone else, i know some people who find it comedy while some find it horrifically scary, just depends on what gets you i guess. curious to see what some of you think is scary though in movie terms.
OT: while it's good the cinema gave them a refund + showing within the next half hour, the kids will be fine, nothing like growing a little hair on your chest from seeing disturbing images as a child

It would of been better if it was Sinister. Instead of a plain ol jump scare, show the opening scene of a family (including a child) with bags over their heads being slowly hung from a tree. Then I could possibly understand the whole "scarring them for life" thing... >
Here's the thing that bothers me, before every movie there's like 30 fucking minutes of previews and other nonsense and they always coincide with the rating of the movie you're going to see.
If this truly was a mistake did no one go...hey they're showing teen stuff and possibly the low R stuff...shouldn't we be seeing like Disney ads and other cartoonish shit?

I'm sure this will be a real ordeal for some of these kids...
and as someone who considers the only thing more insufferable than children in general to be children in cinemas, my heart is filled with jubilation and the thought of their trauma.

Mistake .... right. I'm sure the person/people playing the film were laughing their ass off when everyone started running for the exits.
Well for 95-99% you are correct. Everyone gets nightmares, and most of the children will not have problems after a few weeks/months. But really 1-5% might have future problems.Beffudled Sheep said:
I should have specified this, the Theater should OFFER therapy too anyone who might need it. Parents included, I have seen some studies that suggest that the parents might actually suffer more physiological injury because their children were perceived danger, even if not real, the physiological effects are still there.
I am not a parent and didn't have any of my own so I'll take your word on the parents being the bigger receiver of trauma. Honestly though I don't see why the parents are so scared. Maybe I'll understand once I have my own kids but I honestly don't understand how over-protective parents can be. Life is an experience with many trials and moments of suffering. Freaking out over things as small as this I believe will do more harm than good to future generations. If you have some kind of scientific evidence that points towards over-protectiveness being better though I will definitely take it into consideration.Gilhelmi said:
What? It's two characters from Full Metal Jacket with doll faces stitched on. I don't think there's anything creepy about that at all.dogstile said:

Screw paranormal activity Your avatar has scarred me for life.lacktheknack said:
OT: The kids will eventually get over it. I thought I was scarred for life when I saw childs play as a kid. I had some nightmares but I got over it.
Yes. YES. THIS... YES.
I'm guessing this happens more frequently than is reported. But having it reported is so... cathartic. I want this to be every day's headline: "kids scared shitless, parents mad, cinema complacent". Great.
This has genuinely made my day.
...I just read that back. I am a terrible person.

There are multiple here who are pleasured by the idea that children were scared. Either you have bad taste in jokes or you need to reevaluate you lives.
Anyway, I think "taking steps to ensure it never happens again" means that some guy just got fired... hard. That's practically something that should get you fired anyways since other screw ups like this could violate laws and contracts regarding movies and licenses.
