**Parents of a particular kid should decide whether their ward is ready to watch a movie which is of the horror genre or not as they understand their kids much better than anyone else in the world.**

Well, there is no certain age watch a specific movie as before release of a movie **CBFC reviews a particular movie and then recommends and decides the age group** which can see that movie so parents should follow the rules and guidelines that whether the movie is appropriate for their ward or not.

Well, the only suggestion I can give if you know that scenes of particular horror movie are too much intense then kids should not be allowed to watch such movies as there are **movies like Conjuring, Anabelle, IT and much more which are been claimed by their directors that they are been based on real stories.** After watching such movies even the elder ones are in sweat so kids should kids should be taken care of.
