Should I let my 10 year old watch poltergeist?
Should I let my 10 year old watch poltergeist? If your child is 10 or a strong 9 and isn't the type to get scared at night, then this is their gateway into the land of Horror. Don't let them watch this on their own though! If at that age, this movie should be watched with family sitting close by to remind them it's all just a movie, and that they're safe.
Is Gremlins OK for a 7 year old?
Appropriate Age At least 10. The kitchen scene alone, where Billy's fearless mom slaughters a stream of evil gremlins, makes me think parents should wait until their kids are older and able to handle the scares that come with a well-made creature story. Gremlins isn't Jaws.
