    My kids, and my kids friends loved it. The games themselves are pretty simple with the exception of the last one that was released – so there’s not really a lot of “content” to work with, except for the lore. The movie was a tribute to the lore, and even added some confirmations of its own. It was exactly what I expected it to be. This wasn’t meant for anyone coming into it expecting something deep.

        IF they already play the games, sure. There are multiple stabbings, but no overly drastic gore. If they haven’t been exposed to the games yet, it might be a small shock. My kids are 6, 12, and 15 - I left the 6 year old at Grandpas, but then he watched it on Peacock at home with no issues - but he’s been exposed to it via his sisters since birth basically.
