'THE DARK TOWER'
Rated PG-13 for thematic material including sequences of gun violence and action.
What it's about: The Man in Black is kidnapping children to use their brain power to destroy the Dark Tower, which keeps darkness out of the universe. Jake and the Gunslinger must stop him.
The kid attractor factor: The horror/action genre mashup will be intriguing to teen audiences.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Trust yourself and your own powers, but rely on others for help too. Trust your instincts.
Violence: Lots of gun violence, shooting, and sequences of fighting and fantasy violence (tree demons, house demons, flying glass), earthquakes, explosions.
Language: Some swearing.
Sexuality: None
Drugs: None
Parents advisory: While this is fine for teens, it's too dark, scary and violent for kids.
