10 Insanely Intense Scenes In PG-13 Movies

10. Jurassic Park (1993) - Raptors In The Kitchen

Kicking off the list is a staple of every child’s formative movie watching from the master of the rollocking family adventure: Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park.

Just as Spielberg uses Elliot in E.T. to capture a child’s wonder at discovering an alien, Jurassic Park’s true protagonists are the two children. It’s through trials and tribulations of the kids that a young audience identifies with the awe and terror of the dinosaurs.

And Jurassic Park has its fair share of scary moments. Severed arms, acid in the eyes, lawyers being eaten alive whilst cowering on a toilet.

But the scene that’s most nerve-shredding is when the two children hide from the park’s most vicious creatures - the raptors. As huge and intimidating as the T-rex was, those sneaky raptors that were just as terrifying.

The children crawl for cover in the kitchen, trying to keep hidden, as the raptors stalk the room. Screams of terror from the children are echoed by the screams of the blood-thirsty raptors, and Spielberg twice makes us think that the children are goners. The moment Lex (Ariana Richards) appears trapped in the cupboard as the raptor races towards her is pure horror, until the raptor crashes head-first into the metal having charged into a reflection. See, these children are clever. And so is Spielberg.
