From filmmaker Kevin B. Lee, a story about seeing Platoon as a child in 1986. What age-inappropriate movies did you see as a kid?

oh so many... one of my best friends in school had divorced parents, and his mum would rent us literally any video at all, no questions asked. We had sleepovers where we watched all available Terminator movies, Alien(s) and many, many others at the age of about 11
the one that I think traumatized me the most was The Abyss, though. Drowning! Aliens!
