It's received an 'R' rating for "bloody horror, violence and gore" that the studio suits seem quite happy about publicising rather than wanting to appeal.
It seems a PG-13 and a longer, darker and more violent R rated cut of the film were both tested recently with the latter winning out in terms of reaction.
The film may or may not be any good but this move of support by U for the rating is a victory for horrorphiles like me everywhere--The genre has been PG-13-ed to death for years and needs an adult shot in the arm.
The film lands in theaters on February 12th.
