In Victorian England it was thought of as obscene for a lady to show her ankles. These days, as long as a lady's nipples and patch are covered she can wear whatever the fuck she wants. The point is that tolerance grows with time. An 18 certificate in 1979 has absolutely no relevance in 2012. This film has the potential to be the creepiest modern film in years and I could not care if it is an 18 or a 12A (UK ratings). I have absolute faith in RS and he has already confirmed that this film is to be released uncut. Ratings mean nothing. The director's intentions are all that matters. Cannot fucking wait. Midnight this Thursday. Jizzageddon.

Jaws was rated "PG" from the get go, that managed to scare the shit out of people.
Tons of classic horror would not be restricted at this point in time [in canada]. Alien, Exorcist, The Omen, most of the '70's classic would be rated "AA" in Canada [think of that as "14" in UK terms]. Die Hard was rated "AA" last time it played at a second run theatre here [they show it every xmas at the local cult movie place]. We are a lot lighter on swearing then most countries in regards to ratings.
Sorry, gore isn't scary. It's just overdone. The only thing more overdone is rape. Seriously, enough with all the rape in films lately.

PS: Prometheus in Canada? 14a.
Yeah, that is why I am going to the midnight screening. I find that most people under the age of 25 can't shut up anymore.

I was pretty scared by the ring which was PG 13. On the other hand side I couldn't stop laughing at the hills have eyes (which was rated R) much to the disdain of my then-boyfriend lol.
I would agree with andy's cat. But I saw Paranormal Activity in the theater. It could have been good I guess had it not been for the laughing, chuckling and talking tweens, or so I thought. But the movie is rated R. What's that? 17? Doesn't make a big difference, Andy's cat. Either way, they ruined it for me.
