My dads brother visited us one time - when I was around 7 years old - and they sent me to bed and watched a movie together on TV. I’m not sure where my mom was, perhaps taking care of my little brother, but I quietly went down the stairs and saw them watching the movie, and I stayed very quietly so they would not know I’m there.

It was a Bruce Lee movie, “The Big Boss (1971)”. In that movie Bruce works at a ice factory and his boss kills some people and puts them into the ice. That’s not the worst of it. They then have those big ice blocks and a big blade saw and that saw cuts the big blocks into smaller peaces. It also cuts those bodies in the ice blocks into smaller pieces.

I couldn’t believe what I saw and went back upstairs and couldn’t fall asleep. I never told my parents.

    Meh I watched Friday the 13th part 3 and RoboCop when I was like 8. The ring alone in the dark when I was 11 and the exorcist uncut at Xmas when I was 13. Movies do nothing to you, they’re fantasy.

        I bet a guy disturbed enough could pull a shoot out in an hospital for watching the teletubbies. They’re still fantasy, I won’t blame media for that in any way.

        Religions on the other hand actually instigate hate.

      Good for you, I watched RoboCop on my own at around the same age and that acid scene has been forever etched into my mind, and made me avoid gore movies.
