Family guide to new movie releases
Published in Entertainment News
'EBENEZER'
Rated PG-13 for frightening material.
What it’s about: A dark, gritty, spooky version of the classic Dickens tale "A Christmas Carol."
The kid attractor factor: Probably the straightforward life lessons about the spirit of Christmas and familiar material. Good for kids who are horror-curious because this has lots of spooky atmosphere and scary ghosts but also a happy ending.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Being greedy and miserly will result in misery and loneliness. Open up your heart to others.
Violence: Some scary supernatural and ghost images.
Language: None
Sex: None
Drugs: None
Parents’ advisory: Spooky and scary for little kids but OK for older kids and teens.
'VICTORIAN PSYCHO'
Rated R for strong bloody violence and brief sexual material.
What it’s about: A young governess employed by a wealthy family reveals herself to be a little bit psycho and goes on a killing spree.
The kid attractor factor: Not much, this is for adults.
Good lessons/bad lessons: We all go a little mad sometimes.
Violence: Extreme bloody violence throughout, kids in dangerous situations, killing, slashing, etc.
Language: None
Sex: References to sex.
Drugs: None
Parents’ advisory: Too violent and disturbing for kids, OK for teens.
