Mine sure didn't until I was old enough. It's traditionally rated 15 in my country, but now 7+ on Amazon Prime and 12 on the other streaming service. When I was little, my mum told me it was one of the scariest movies she had ever seen and compared it to The Exorcist. She said she had nightmares from the opening sequence.
Since it's PG in the U.S., then technically any child would be allowed to see it.
It’s PG, an 8 year old should be able to handle it.
sharePG, yes, but this was before PG-13 had been created and I believe that the Jaws theatrical poster had a warning text next to the rating that read ...may be too intense for younger children.
shareYes seeing a man spit up blood while being eaten may be too intense for a 7 year old. Just like watching a man get his heart ripped out then lowered into molten lava.
shareIn 1975, I was 24 years old. My parents were both deceased.
shareYes my parents let me see it. I was 7.
shareYes, when I was 9, the entire family went and saw this and the next day, we all headed to Clearwater Florida and when we arrived, no one was in the water
