'EBENEZER'

Rated PG-13 for frightening material.

What it’s about: A dark, gritty, spooky version of the classic Dickens tale "A Christmas Carol."

The kid attractor factor: Probably the straightforward life lessons about the spirit of Christmas and familiar material. Good for kids who are horror-curious because this has lots of spooky atmosphere and scary ghosts but also a happy ending.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Being greedy and miserly will result in misery and loneliness. Open up your heart to others.

Violence: Some scary supernatural and ghost images.

Language: None

Sex: None

Drugs: None

Parents’ advisory: Spooky and scary for little kids but OK for older kids and teens.

'VICTORIAN PSYCHO'

Rated R for strong bloody violence and brief sexual material.

What it’s about: A young governess employed by a wealthy family reveals herself to be a little bit psycho and goes on a killing spree.

The kid attractor factor: Not much, this is for adults.

Good lessons/bad lessons: We all go a little mad sometimes.

Violence: Extreme bloody violence throughout, kids in dangerous situations, killing, slashing, etc.

Language: None

Sex: References to sex.

Drugs: None

Parents’ advisory: Too violent and disturbing for kids, OK for teens.
