Movies where kids are..... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I watched a movie tonight, The Killing Gene, and they killed a little boy. It's not too often when kids are killed in movies. A movie that comes to mind is, An Eye For An Eye, where Sallys Field plays a mother who hears her daughter being brutally raped and murdered by Kiefer Sutherland. Who can forget Sally Field running on the bridge screaming into her cellphone.

I was shocked when the girl died in, Bridge To Terabithia. I never saw that one coming. Not including teen slasher movies, can you think of movies that cross this line, with teens or children?

I remember that Sally Field movie. I think it's awful when they have kids killed in movies. I would hope that the kids who play the victims would understand that it's just acting, but I wonder if any have ever been affected by that.

The movie Grindhouse has a scene where a little boy gets killed. I won't ruin the movie, but it is a stunning scene.

The movie 99 Kids Killed on a Wall had 99 kids killed in it. It was painful to watch and yet, I couldn't turn away. The theme song went something like "99 Kids Killed on a Wall, 99 Kids killed. If one of those kids should happen to live... 98 Kids Killed on a Wall."

I'm joking. No such movie exists. And if it did, I certainly wouldn't watch it, lol.

Pet Semetary- granted it's a horror movie, but I wasn't expecting this little baby to be killed.

Pay It Forward- I THINK I remember the little boy dying when he was stabbed, can't remember for sure.

The greatest Clint Eastwood movie of them all...Dirty Harry. The killer Scorpio buries a teenage girl underground and demands ransom from the city of SF for her release claiming she only has so much air to survive. By the time they find her, she's dead. Of course Harry tortured the guy in order to find her in the first place. lol

I hate watching kids or animals getting killed. Yes Lauren, Pay It Forward, he did die. That was shocking.

I thought it was a decent movie until the end. I didn't like how they tried to turn this meaningful movie into a sudden tearjerker at the end. The movie lost something for me when that happened.

anyways, in The 6th Sense, the mother poisoned her daughters soup

Well there would've been an outrage if the girl had lived. Since it's based on a famous book.

Actually, I recall at the time the movie was released that many were outraged that the advertising was misleading. Parents took their kids thinking they were seeing a Narnia type movie and were hit with that. Most hadn't read the book.

I just thought of another one, Seabiscuit. I love this movie, being a horse lover, but it's sad when Jeff Bridges character's son is killed.

I love that movie, but I forget how his son was killed. How did it happen?

The boy(Frankie Howard) decides he wants to go fishing, so he packs up his stuff and gets in the truck. He drives up the little country one-way road by their house and a bigger truck comes down the hill and hits him head on, very sad. He was only 14. Sad thing is, it really happened.
