Are you KIDDING me?! Re-rated to PG-13.

I am so sick and tired of this crap. It's one thing to make a movie for a PG-13 rating and to limit yourself during filming. But it's a completely different thing to take a director's vision and rape it and remove content from it for a lower rating.

I'm not saying PG-13 horror can't be good. There's tons of good PG-13 horror's out there. However, this movie was written and FILMED as an R-rated picture. The Bye Bye Man's sidekick dog is made out of the tongue's of his victims. That isn't PG-13 territory.

Original R-rating: bloody horror violence, language and some sexuality
Edited PG-13 version: terror, horror violence, bloody images, sexual content, thematic
elements, partial nudity, some language and teen drinking.

Nevermind, I saw that article. I'm not going to see it unless it's R or unrated.

Agreed.

PG13 horror is LAME, this is gonna suck so bad.

All the best Horror movies are R rated

I can't stand when people continually diss PG-13 horror as if all of its trash, when there has been proof of good PG-13 horror.

That being said, what is lame is that they intended an R rating but cut it down to PG-13.

Did you really think this was going to be good as an R rated movie? Either way, it's going to be bad.
