Top 10 Most Violent or Gory PG-13 Rated Movies

I am not saying all of these movies should be re-rated R. Ratings are all about context. Some of these movies have comical violence, some have fantasy violence, and some are animated. But some are simply gruesome for the sake of being gruesome.

To qualify for this list, the context is irrelevant. This is simply about violence and gore.

1. Drag Me to Hell

   

   Should be rated R. This comic horror movie has a scene in which a witch's head is crushed, and brain matter and eyes spurt onto a character. Also, an eyeball is squished quite graphically.

2. The Grudge

   

   A severed jaw is seen. Later, we graphically see where it belonged.

3. Sucker Punch

   

   While the fantasy violence is average PG-13, the storyline set in the brothel contains sexual violence. This may not be explicit but is nevertheless psychologically violent.

4. Taken

   

   There is a graphic and long torture scene.

5. Princess Mononoke

   

   Contains some battle scenes with severed limbs. The PG-13 rating is okay nevertheless because it is an anime movie as well as a fantasy movie. It should be easy to handle for viewers 12 and up.

6. The Dark Knight

   

   It is one of the greatest movies of all time but pushes the boundaries of PG-13.

7. The Starving Games

   

   Characters get cut in half, limbs are severed, heads are impaled. Since it is all comical and looks cheap, the PG-13 rating is okay.

8. The Uninvited

   

   Contains gruesome images showing the gory results of murders.

9. Vampires Suck

   

   Like The Starving Games, this comedy movie contains scenes where characters get their limbs ripped off, heads knocked off, and bones sticking out of the skin. But again, this is all comic and fake-looking.

10. The Lost World: Jurassic Park

    
The Newcomers
11. ?

    Jurassic World

    
12. ?

    X-Men: Apocalypse

    
The Contenders

13. Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith

    

    When Vader turned to the dark side, he and Obi-Wan were fighting because Obi-Wan was trying to love him, but he hated him back. When he fell into the lava, he burned. It was the most graphic burning ever.

    He was in unimaginable pain, both physical and mental. I can't see how this didn't get on the list before.

14. Beowulf

    

    Grendel stabs his victims, breaks necks, tears off heads and eats them. He rips people in half, throws guys into fires, and crushes heads. This description should be enough to tell you what kind of movie this is.

15. War of the Worlds

    

16. Alien vs Predator

    

17. The Mummy

    

18. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

    

19. The Wolverine

    

20. Tales From Earthsea

    

    Like Princess Mononoke, this has a fair amount of anime fantasy violence including severed limbs in battle sequences. Again, I think the PG-13 is okay in this context.

21. Scary Movie 3

    

22. Angels & Demons

    

23. Star Wars: The Force Awakens

    

    Tons of deaths in this movie, including the killing of father Han Solo.

24. Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials

    

    This, in my books, is way lower than it should be. Jumpscares when you least expect them and cranks would startle anyone.

    Zombie-like Cranks are scary, and sometimes slightly gory shootings occur, along with a suicide.

25. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

    

26. Hanna

    

    The violence is realistic and bloody. The only reason this couldn't have been on here earlier is due to how obscure it is.

27. Avengers: Infinity War
