Got this as a question to answer. So I'll do my best to answer it. Allowing an underage child to watch an R rated movie is up to the parent. If your child isn't able to handle this type of movie. Then it might be a bad idea to take them. If your parenting hasn't given your child the skills to determine right from wrong, or reality from fiction, by middle school. You may have failed as a parent. It's funny I got this question, because my middle school aged child wants to see it. He's a fan of scary stuff just like me. I also have every intention of letting him see it. The questionable thing here is sheltering your child from learning about unpleasant things early on in life to make them a better adult.
