I watched The Fly (Cronenberg) version when I was... 7 maybe?

Damnnn that fucked me up good!

 

[janoDX]

Audition (yes, that Japanese movie) when I was 10.

 

[webkatt]

Does faces of death count as a movie?

If so, that at 9 years old.

 

[Valkerionseven]

Can't remember to be honest.

Have an older brother who loved old kung fu movies, which not that violent usually. But also liked horror movies so we watched a ton of violent stuff as kids. None really affected me simply because I think they are pretty dumb movies.

Mostly saw TV versions of a lot of these movies as a kid, still violent I guess but a lot of edits. The 80's "fantasy warrior movies" like Conan, Red Sonja and what not. Most don't bother me outside a few scenes. Usually only scenes with children getting killed bother me, even now.

 

[MGrant]

Raiders of the Lost Ark when I was 5 or 6. Yeah that was nightmare fuel for nearly a decade. Also watched Pulp Fiction and Die Hard with my older brother when I was 11 or 12, but nothing fucked me up quite like Raiders.

 

[Spenny]

Definitely RoboCop. I got the VHS from my uncle and watched the shit out of it at age five. The movie that fucked me up the most was Halloween, but it's not super violent so it doesn't compete against RoboCop

my parents were incredibly strict. bad boys came out when i was 8 and my mum kicked me out of the lounge room within 15mins.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Some 80s/90s horror film no doubt. I remember watching stuff like the Dentist or Friday the 13th and stuff at very young age. I cannot really point out any single one, I watched a lot of horror as a kid.

 

[Teepo671]

Day of the Dead.
That shit gave me nightmares that I still remember to this day. D:

 

[LincolnSixEcho]

Like so many others here, ROBOCOP. 8 years old. I still remember how my heart raced I so many of those scenes. It's one off my favorites though, a true classic. I've seen it many times now.

 

[ActWan]

Robocop for sure...holy shit that was graphic.
Practical effects > CGI.

 

[Xyber]

My dad and I usually watched a random VHS tape I picked out from his collection when I was sick and around 7-10 years old. So I watched a lot of stuff like Robocop, Nightmare on Elm Street, Rambo, Terminator, The Exorcist, Hellraiser etc.

 

[kapowza]

Robocop, what the fuck was my mum thinking?

 

[Ensirius]

Predator.

Damn is that movie awesome.

 

[ZombAid82]

I was around 8 or 9 Years old, when I watched Misery with my Mom.
And everytime something horrible happend in the movie, my Mom shut my Eyes with her hand^^
The scenes were much harder, if you don't see what's going on, and you only her the knack and screaming^^

 

[Osahi]

I was eleven (or even ten at the time, not sure if I had my birthday yet- when I went to see Saving Private Ryan in the cinema. It was kids allowed here.

I also must have seen Scream around that age.

My parents literally let me watch anything as long as it wasn't porn.

 

[Auto-Reply]

Faces of Death. It was all the rage in the 80's. I was around 10 or so. Watched it at a friend's house.

Same, everybody was talking about how some of them are real. Fast forward to 2016, there is much worse on the internet (liveleak & co) and that is without a doubt real.

How do you manage to end up in a year-old thread?

It was still in high up in the list of threads I had subscribed to, and at the time I probably confused the tab I had open of Off-Topic with the other tab and thought this was a more recent thread. I was quite unconcentrated at the time due to a lack of sleep, that might explain it, too. 😛

Oh, just remembered how scared I was of dinosaurs (especially raptors) lurking everywhere at a young age after watching Jurassic Park. I always was very good at imagining all kinds of horrible things, and as a kid imagining those raptors hunting me down when I was walking around alone made me really paranoid for a time.

 

[Ragnarok]

Aliens. Messed me up for a while too,lol

 

[TissueBox]

Cannibal Holocaust.

 

[Sephzilla]

I watched RoboCop when I was 7 fucking years old. In hindsight, I think it was insane that I was allowed to see that at such a young age because even in 2016 RoboCop is still one of the more violent major movies to ever come out of Hollywood.

The thing is, I can't even think of which scene would be the worst scene to show a kid. ED-209 blowing that one guy away was ridiculous. Murphy's death scene is nuts. Emil's toxic waste bit is gruesome too. Also, every other word out of Boddicker's mouth is an expletive.

Was Robocop marketed as a kids movie? It's strange how common it is as an answer.

Despite it being a very hard-R movie (like, it had to be trimmed and toned-down just to make R), it somehow had a fucking action figure line. Plus I imagine kids, and parents, probably saw the poster and figured it was a super hero movie since it's about a robot cop.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Had me shook

 

[Thelonelykoopa]

Im pretty sure it was Robocop.

 

[Electric Eye]

Friday the 13th at the theater. Mostly I don't remember being scared because my parents lets me run around the theater isles and play at the arcade.

 

[Zakalwe]

Robocop and Predator.

And I bloody loved them both.

 

[jond76]

Tom Savini was my hero as a kid so I watched it all! No effect on me.

Except RoboCop. The scene where they killed Murphy was distressing for me.

 

[The Albatross]

Terminator 2.

Was on PPV at a friend's house and they had a black box so we watched it. Was like 7 or 8, thought it was the greatest movie ever. Still think it's great.

 

[vikki]

Terminator 2 when I was 7 or 8

 

[psynergylover]

candyman........that shit gave me nightmares

 

[vort3x]

Robocop

Nightmare on Elm Street. All of them. But till this day the school dream scene nancy has is still fresh in my memory. I will never forget that scene. The body in the plastic bag. Goosebumps till this day.
