10 Scariest PG Rated Movies EVER MADE

10. Patrick

Scripted by Everett De Roche, the mind behind 1978's eco-horror Long Weekend, Psycho II director Richard Franklin's Patrick is a disturbing Aussie horror sci fi which definitely didn’t earn the PG rating it was gifted with upon release.

Slow, intense, and unsettling, the flick follows the titular coma-bound killer who harbours secret telekinetic abilities which allow him to continue his reign of terror even when confined to a hospital bed for the film's runtime. With a sprinkling of explicitly sexual content as well as a few gory murders, this one has no place amongst the PG pile and earned an X rating when released in Britain.

Nonetheless, American audiences could introduce kids to the eponymous killer if they saw fit upon the release of this cult classic.
