I first saw this when I was 5, back when it was in the cinemas. My mother had no idea that it would go from love, to pure evil. I said mum I am a bit scared. She said she did not want to waste money, so I sat and watched the scariest kids movie I have ever seen. Believe it or not, I still get nightmares from this movie, and I am 16.
Great writing, but terrifying for younger kids.
