My personal one was the shining. I ended up watching it over 20 times before I was 12.
I’m spending a lot of time babysitting my nieces (9 & 11). I’m cis male and I would love to hear what women would answer or suggest for me to show them in a cool uncle role.
Cheesus Ricest dude! I watched it as a 30 something year old and I felt disturbed with scenes in the third act.
Now you have to fill us in. Did you have nightmares and for how long?
Earlier that summer my father had made me clean a deer that had been shot in the gut and he did some hollywood style child abuse when I barfed about it, so I was pretty numb to the gore. What really bothered me was some of the dialog. I shudder 30 years later when I think about the line, “where we’re going we don’t need eyes to see.”
My stepdad was horrified he’d taken his stepdaughter to see something so graphic and made me and my friends promise not to tell anyone what we saw and to downplay the gore.
