Is PG-13 really all that bad?



I agree with a lot of this guy's points.

There is some truth to what he's saying, especially the part about resorting to foreign horror if the domestic stuff tastes bad.

PG-13 might not be all that bad in itself, but since it means "marketed for teenagers," we're likely looking at another vehicle for today's faces and songs.

Honestly, I rarely know what a movie's rated even after I've seen it. I do get bummed if I hear something is PG-13, because in a world in which new horror is so often disappointing, it's a further downer to know there's no serious gore. Or tits.

I was always down on PG-13 until I saw The Ring. The Ring proved that good horror need not involve copious amounts of blood, although the lack of boobs can be a problem =)

The Ring was PG-13? I always forget that. Yeah, that certainly proves you don't need the big R to scare, but if you heard the Evil Dead remake was PG-13, you'd pitch a fit.

Boobs.
