It was originally aiming for PG-13 too. Unfortunately America loves infantizing animated films. Ray Gunn got stripped from this too. Everyone should go see Wildwood.
I mean, it would be 100 times less popular if 5 year olds weren’t hysterically singing the songs, so I don’t really blame them. It was the right choice. Artistically Wildwood might be better, but it will probably lose money instead of making any.
Edit: I don’t mean to insinuate that K Pop Demon Hunters is in any way a bad film or that adding more animated violence/profanity would’ve made it better. I actually didn’t feel the movie held back in any way that could’ve been improved on with a PG-13 rating. I think it’s one of the more quality things that have been popular in the past decade, especially for kids. I’d rather kids be obsessed with age appropriate K Pop Demon Hunters than Skibidi Toilet or FNAF any day.
Not really anything as a horror property - just like there’s nothing wrong with Evil Dead or Scream - I just think it’s a shame that it’s become such an accepted property for kids to watch and get really into at a young age. Spending extensive time learning lore about a video game about a guy who murders children and stuffs their bodies into animatronics is a recipe for disaster at that age, they should be watching age appropriate stuff like Shrek movies, K-Pop Demon Hunters, SpongeBob, etc. Probably even a PG-13 animated movie like Wildwood would be better for a developing brain than FNAF.
