All parents should consider that the voodoo and spiritistic overtones are extensive throughout this movie. This created a level of suspense and exposure to images and sounds that, in my opinion, were too much for kids. Hey, the Shadowman started to get under my skin as an adult. If I was viewing this movie on DVD, I would have skipped a large portion of the voodoo scenes. The "scariness is too thick" for little eyes, ears, and minds!
