Not to gory or violent but very scary

Really good scary film but a kid over 10 can watch this film. Lot of Jumpscares and really should be PG-13 but way to scary for little kids. Language is said a lot. Not much sex and nudity or violence and gore pretty much just scary.

Is Arachnophobia ok for 11 year olds?

Good Film; Use Discretion

This movie is intense and may have a unique effect on viewers since spiders are ubiquitous as opposed to the antagonists in other scary films. Pretty much ok for young teens in my opinion, but there is one shot that pans down a teenage girl's bare torso.
