Would you be happy for your children to see this poster displayed at the cinema?

[Enid]

not for the squeamish

the poster is the bit with the severed head

er no!

Nope - that's quite disturbing. Can only imagine the questions that would invite!

eeew, that's a bit grim. i wouldn't like to look at that poster myself.

well it was on the wall opposite where we came out of Over The Hedge this morning and both dds (6 and 3) saw it and dd1 wsa quite upset.

I complained but apparently 'head office' ok'd it. Dh thinks I am overreacting.

I wasn't even brave enough to get past the scream and clicked it off. I was upset when flying back from Florida recently to find out they were showing a horror film on the plane on the way home. Thought this was totally unsuitable for a family airline. Luckily it was the June schedule and it was July so we missed it..

seems something is very wrong here, you go to a U rated or PG rated film and see such a poster they wouldn't be allowed as a trailer on the dvd!

Think I'd complain in writing. That's gross.

exactly bin

can I copy ASA on my complaint letter do you think

head office prob dont have young children
get children to write in to say how upset they were

it is the summer holidays! my son would be worried about that for weeks. whats ASA?

advertising standards authority

I don't think you're over-reacting. I's complain, not least because it's the Summer holidays and the place must be teeming with children.

yes definitely complain, i'll have at look to see if our cinema has it as well!

I think there is a big difference between real images of people suffering through war and throwaway graphic images used to sell (almost certainly crap) movies.

yes agree I may be being sensitive

but the dds were upset by it and neither of them have had a baby recently as far as I am aware (well not literally anyway) so hormones aren't entirely to blame.

the man had no head! it would freak out my son

Message withdrawn

also it is very realistic (not cartoonish)

anyway have complained to cineworld and ASA so we'll see

I think if it's just the picture of the severed head then it wouldn't bother me (don't forget that the link we were directed too shows the blood 'spurting' out of the neck on the decapitated body too). And from what I understand of the OP the poster only shows the head it's self.

Has anyone watched the trailer - have to confess I PMSL at the end bit about the foot

omg that outrageous. My kids wouldnt sleep if they seen that

no its that entire image

the neck with blood AND the head
