10 Movies You Won't Believe Were Rated PG

10. Shazam

Shazam is the funniest film in the DCEU. Ironically, it is also the scariest. The scenes with The Seven Deadly Sins are so genuinely unsettling, you can tell this "comedy" was made by a horror director.

When Sivana interrupts his father's board meeting, he orders The Seven Deadly Sins to kill everyone in the room. Now, because this is a kids movie, this scene has no blood in it whatsoever, but it still pushes the PG-13 rating to the absolute max. When we see one of the Sin's preparing to rip an employee's head off, the camera cuts away while we hear the sickening crunch of his skull.

However, this sort of editing actually makes the scene more horrifying since your imagination pictures something far more gruesome than anything depicted in the film. Interestingly, this technique is very common in horror movies to highlight gore and was popularised by the slasher classic, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The difference is that was a horror flick; this is a PG-rated movie!

What makes this scene even more gruesome and jarring is how we were watching the World's Mightiest Mortal joking around and flossing five minutes earlier.
