US EditionEssex family 'traumatised' after horror film trailers shown before Lilo and Stitch
ENFIELD, NORTH LONDON, JUN 17 – A family paid £85 for an immersive screening but were shown PG-13 horror trailers, leaving their young children too frightened to watch the film and prompting legal action.
- On June 7, Jenny and Robert Ellice brought their two young boys, aged four and five, to a 4DX screening of a remade children's film at the Cineworld cinema in Enfield.
- The event occurred because the cinema mistakenly showed graphic horror trailers rated PG-13, including Jurassic World Rebirth and M3gan 2.0, before the U-rated film Lilo & Stitch.
- The horror trailers contained swearing, blood spatter, violence, and screaming, which caused the children to become rigid with fear and forced the family to leave before the film began.
- Jenny said, "Max has been waking up screaming," and Rob told his teacher he was scared from the cinema, while staff apologized and offered free tickets, which Jenny deemed insufficient.
- The family has engaged solicitors to pursue further legal measures, including anticipated complaints lodged with the local Enfield authorities and the organization responsible for film certification, as they seek to prevent a similar incident and believe the cinema’s response was insufficient.
