Placing the "Deliver Us From Evil" movie trailer before "Godzilla" was completely inappropriate. People have asked me if "Godzilla" is ok for their kids, and unless they are under 7 or scared easily, I said yes...but skip the previews.
I've seen my fair share of bad trailer line ups before, putting a rom-com trailer before a war movie for example, but pairing a horror-movie trailer, with a movie studios knew would have children attending was wrong.
"But John," some would say, "Godzilla is rated PG-13, only people 13 and up should be in attendance."
That's why there was a trailer for "How to Train Your Dragon" right after "Deliver Us From Evil," or how my nephew's birthday party today had all Godzilla-themed merchandise?
Kids were crying at the 2 pm showing after the trailer. Not mine, although one covered his face. The older commented on the strangeness of the two trailers being together.
I can understand studios wanting to capture as wide an audience as possible, but save the horror trailers for showings in the evening.
