My 11 year old really wants to see Friday the 13th today

I havent seen Friday the 13th in years but if I remember correctly it was super gory and gruesome, probably too much so for an 11 year old.

Honestly I'd be more concerned about the sexual situations in that movie for an 11 year old but you are right it was pretty gruesome and violent as well.

I would say no, but only because of the sexuality in it. I would probably let a 13 year old see it.

I have no clue what you are talking about. My kid has been asking to see Jason movies since Halloween two years ago when he took notice of the costume. This year he has realized it's Friday the 13th and really wants to see the movie. I asked for alternatives as I have no plans to let him see the movie anytime soon (even though he swears some of his classmates have seen it). So, WTF are you even talking about?

Let him suggest his own alternatives, or he'll become lazy.
