PG
Parental guidance suggested

US film rating

The official US PG rating cites violence, thematic material, scary images and brief language. The apparent haunting, threatening situations and discussion of loss may worry children who dislike ghost stories. Expect mystery-related danger and conflict rather than a gentle reading adventure.

Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
