What movie is way too scary for children?
Post your answer in the LEAVE A COMMENT section below. I’m not the boss of you, though. Don’t write anything for all I care! I know the first time can be scary, but it’s so easy, a kid can do it.

What movie is way too scary for children?
What defines a scary movie? It’s subjective. Some consider your traditional horror film— relying heavily on jump scares—to be scary. Jaws famously seldom shows the full shark—a simple shark fin, a couple ominous chords and the human imagination did more to keep a generation of ocean goers on the beach than an animatronic shark ever could. Watching Joker yesterday, I wasn’t so much scared in the screams-of-fear sense, as I was in the bat-shit-crazy psychological realm. The exploration of Joaquin Phoenix’s mental issues as they circled the drain into total lunacy was scary to me. Joker earned over $1 billion, so I have to assume a whole lot of children may have ill-advisedly watched Gotham City’s villain take shape. There was a disturbing scene where he removed everything from his refrigerator, climbed inside, and closed the door. The scene ended, cutting to the next day, not to be referenced for the remainder of the film. Perhaps a suicide attempt by suffocation or hypothermia—either way, a scary look into the mind of a crazed man. Regardless, I always appreciate an instance of Chekhov’s Gun staying on the mantle.
