MovieWeb's 10 Movies That Are Darker Than They Appear

"There's a long history of children's movies that are unexpectedly dark, but there are films that have been advertised as family-friendly or others that upon second viewing, truly stunned viewers. Learning the real message of certain films can take away some of that magical feeling that you felt when first watching. Or perhaps you went to see your favorite pop star at the time in what appeared to be a fun road trip story. Even films that were advertised as horror films have been found to have far more sinister meanings than the main plot would have you believe. For some films, that makes them more interesting as we mature and revisit them, and with others, it makes you question why your parents ever let you see them. We aren't trying to take away the charm of some of these films, but rather shine a light on films that may not be quite as wholesome or as simple as we all initially thought. So here is a list of films that are darker than you ever realized." - movieweb.com
