US EditionEssex family 'traumatised' after horror film trailers shown before Lilo and Stitch
- On June 7, Jenny Ellice and her husband Robert took their sons Max and Bertie to a 4DX screening of Lilo & Stitch at Cineworld in Enfield, north London.
- Before the family’s PG-rated movie, they were shown intense and violent horror previews containing strong language and graphic scenes, which frightened the children and led them to leave the screening early.
- The horror trailers, combined with moving seats during 4DX, left Max and Bertie rigid with fear, and Max has since been waking up screaming and expressing ongoing distress.
- After staff apologized and proposed complimentary tickets, Jenny felt the response was insufficient; following Cineworld's refusal to engage further, she instructed her solicitors to lodge complaints with Enfield council and the film classification authority.
- The incident highlights concerns about exposing young children to inappropriate content and suggests the cinema is not taking the matter seriously, prompting legal steps to prevent recurrence.
