Violence against children in fiction

[Steve Rogers]

It's bad enough when that shit's implied but when it's actually described or shown on screen in graphic detail, then I get queasy. That scene in the movie Doctor Sleep (I'm sure those who've seen the movie know the scene I'm talking about) traumatised me for life. I never wanna see that movie ever again as long as I live. I'm afraid that now the boundaries of what is acceptable to show being done to children on screen will eventually be pushed even further. Thoughts?

Have not seen the movie but it does bother me how people cannot tell the difference between physical abuse and case specific appropriate physical punishment.

A firm hand when justified is different to being a violent idiot who knows no other means of disciplining a child.

Fuck those kids.

Powerful scene

 

[Katsumi Yamada]

I cried

I was far more offended that the movie dared to try & sequel a bona fide classic like The Shining, only to absolutely suck donkey balls.

The extended kid torture scene was just more icing on the shit cake. Hack filmmakers trying to be edgy, in place of doing anything creative to be scary, like in ya know... an actual good horror movie.

that's the worst is when there is a masterpiece by a titan of cinema and then some mediocrity is like, "naw man, I'm going to do my version."

the worst offenses I can think of are The Shining, Solaris, and Psycho.

Stanley is steadicamming in his grave.

Why did I just watch that fucking scene? I knew it'd make me sick.

 

[Blayt7hh]

Don’t know the scene, but I do love the episode in It’s always Sunny where make and Charlie beat the shit out of some kids

 

[Hyperglide]

Can't kill kids in Elder scrolls or Fallout. Todd and his sweet lies.

Let the punishment fit the crime IMO

 

[Henry Swanson]

This is the scene I thought of when I read the OP.

Thought this may have been a deleted scene from Home Alone.
