10 Brutal Movies That Somehow Avoided Being R-Rated

The MPAA is the organization that gives movies their ratings based on their content; however, some brutal movies that should arguably have been R-rated snuck by with a lower rating. It makes sense that filmmakers and studios would want their movies to have lower ratings, as it means more people are allowed to go see the movie, but this can often lead to frightened children and upset parents. Whether it’s dark subject matter or frightening imagery, some PG-13 movies feel like they are getting away with a lot.
