Us is a masterclass in suspense and psychological horror, with a shocking Twilight Zone-esque element that sets it apart from other slasher flicks. Us is rated R for violence/terror and language.
Us is a bloody horror masterpiece. This follow up to Get out is about a family on a get away but when a strange family with familiar faces tries to kill them it gets violent. Now while this movie is violent enough to have earned the R rating it isn't too bad and is probably best for teens.
The MPAA rating has been assigned for “violence/terror, and language.” The Kids-In-Mind.com evaluation includes a kissing scene and conversations about sex, cleavage revealing outfits and bathing suits, many scenes of people attacking and killing other people with blood and gore, many scenes of unusual and creepy ...

Forbid all R-rated movies until your child is 13 years old.
If your child is 13 to 16 years old, carefully consider his maturity and sensitivity when you are deciding whether he is ready to view some of these movies with you. Don't allow your child to see movies with graphic personal or sexual violence before age 17.
The film is a mind-trick that has left an impression on many who have had the opportunity to see it early, and the disturbing images that are peppered in Us are definitely not suitable for kids. Take Jason Wilson (Evan Alex) character, whose doppelganger, Pluto, is disfigured and is, somehow, immune to fire.
R: Restricted - Under 17 requires accompanying parent or guardian. Children under 17 are not allowed to attend R-rated movies unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian 25 years of age or older.
Some suggestive references are present in the movie, which were a big contributor to the movie's PG-13 rating. These include the characters' discussion about Barbie and Ken dolls' lack of genitalia, though there is no nudity or sex in the movie.
TV-MA is a more severe rating than R. TV-MA is the equivalent of NC-17 in the US. Note that R and MA are used by two different groups. The MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) uses a rating system that you can review here where R is the second most severe, coming up behind NC-17.
The NC-17 rating is the highest rating (even higher than the R-rating) that a film can be given, and it means the movie is for adults only (ages 18 and older) and no one age 17 or younger will be admitted. This rating, prior to 1990, was previously rated X.
While this film isn't likely to have the same cultural impact, it's still quite good. It's also very scary and violent. There are jump scares, plus many attacks and killings with blood and gore. Characters use blunt objects on doppelgangers, and doppelgangers slice and stab people with sharp scissors.
Wednesday is rated TV-14 for violence, fear, and profanity, which means it may not be suitable for children under 14 years old. Keep in mind that age ratings are simply suggestions — your child might be able to handle the show before age 14, or you may have a child older than 14 who finds it too scary.
DRUG CONTENT: MILD A man is shown drunk and acting strangely, references to people being drunk and a theme of smoking and the desire to quit. OVERALL: 13+ for some strong brutal violence, brief gory images and for language.
But if you haven't heard, the Motion Picture Association actually gave Barbie, Ken, and the gang a PG-13 rating! It never once crossed my mind that perhaps Barbie might be inappropriate for my 8-year-old daughter.
Kids and teens swear frequently, using words like "f--k," "s--t," "hell," "f--got," "fat ass," "retards," and more. They also smoke cigarettes and drink beer.
Most kills come down to a gunshot and some blood-mist, but since the action is so fast, the camera often just moves off the body. Language wise, a fair amount of f-bombs, but nothing your kids haven't heard before. I would say that John Wick is appropriate for kids 14 and up.
Generally reserved for R-rated projects, PG-13 movies are allowed a single use of the four-letter word. A few projects like The Social Network and The American President have even gotten away with two or three and still retained their PG-13 rating.
A motion picture's single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive, initially requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive requires an R rating, as must even one of those words used in a sexual context.
Get Out and Us are both petrifying movies with a creepy atmosphere, palpable tension, and a fair share of jump scares. But, pound for pound, Us is arguably the scarier movie of the two.
CORALINE is an exceptional movie and I really have to admire the folks who made it. However, I should point out that this is NOT a movie for younger viewers because the movie is basically like walking into a nightmare. I think I'd be very hesitant to take a child younger than 10 to see it--it is that dark and scary.
Very scary horror. This is an extremely scary, graphic horror movie that should not be taken lightly. I have seen my fair share of horror movies over the years but this one definitely has a different feel to it. It is chilling, unnerving, and very difficult to watch sometimes.
