Jurassic Park for me. I had an amazing JP jumper when I was like…maybe 6. It was far too big for me but I loved dinosaurs. Naturally this meant I wanted to watch the film because…well I’m 6 and it’s got dinosaurs.

Ultimately I ended up watching it with my Mum and Dad. We got as far as the iconic T-Rex chase scene and I told them to turn it off. Didn’t go near the film for another few years.

I’ve now got my own 6 year old. There’s no scenario I could envisage where I even consider letting her watch a film as gory, tense and frightening as JP.

    Hills have eyes (remake). Honestly still disturbing as an adult

      I watched that when it came out but the scene with the father and the tree is still firmly planted in my head.

        Yeah I was 12 when that came out and wow that movie went far. I remember hearing about people walking out of the theatre back then
