Not happy about DD (9) watching scary 15 film at sleepover last night

DD (9) had a sleepover at a friends house last night. The friend is a near neighbour and in her class at school but was the first sleepover at her house. DD came home this morning really spooked, said she didn't even want to go upstairs on own because she had watched "Sixth Sense", scary 15 film about seeing the dead, at the sleepover. Really annoyed that friend's parents thought this was appropriate for 9 year olds. Thinking of sending the following text "X says does"t want to sleep on own tonight as too scared after watching 15 film Sixth Sense last night! Don't know if you were aware what they were watching?".

What do you think? Gives friend's mum the get out that she could say "sorry, wasn't aware, should have kept closer eye". Which might be true of course. Don't want to have fallout, small village and all that but don't feel I can just let it go if DD is going to spend time there in future.

I have watched tons of horrors. Laughed all the way through The Exorcist. Nearly shit my pants at Sixth Sense.

I have no idea why that tame film scared me but it did and I have watched far scarier.

OP's already text the mum Erica.

I've seen it twice as an adult and I found it really disturbing, and I normally don't scare easily

There are some scenes that still haunt me (the lad with the cleaver his father had killed him with and the people hanging in the stairs).

I'd really be pissed off if my 13 year old watched it, so a 9 year old could be really traumatised.

Hope she is ok tonight? You might have a little visitor for a couple of nights.

Didn't the lad whispering all the fucking time in Sixth Sense do anyone else's head in?

Made me overly angry.

Stop bloody mumbling and speak up FFS!
