E.T.

I am going to tell you my reasons on why E.T., in my opinion, should be considered more of a children’s horror movie than a family movie. When I first watched it I was pretty young and hadn’t seen a lot of movies with aliens in it. The first scene helps me explain my reason because they , at the beginning, never showed his face only his fingers which gave it an ominous scary feel to it. Then when the humans appear and the one E.T. abandons the other E.T.  and he gives out his screech of terror for the first time you just about jump out of your seat.

The next scary scene I am going to talk about is when Elliot is in the cornfield and meets E.T. When your watching Elliot going through the cornfield and you know that something’s  going to pop out at you and the suspense is building up and then you see him. Right when you first see him your scared  and surprised from all the suspense that had been build up and then he unleashes his terror scream and he gives a very creepy look that makes you think that if you where in Elliot’s shoes you would have peed your pants at the sight of E.T.. Another scene that comes a little after this one is when Elliot is outside sleeping and e.t. does a creepy walk towards Elliot. Whenever E.T.s head grew it was scary because only ever did it when he was yelling at the top of his lungs.


One of the last scenes where the people in astronaut suits barge in is creepy to because Elliot’s family were just heading outside when all of a sudden the astronaut come out of windows and back doors like some kind invasion is taking place. A little bit before this scene when E.T.s on the bathroom floor with sickly white, skin makes me imagine if I just walked into my bathroom and there was alien on the ground with my kids surrounding it I would freak out just like Elliot’s mom did.

This are the reasons to support my opinion  that E.T. would be a scary children’s movie although  it probably wouldn’t be very scary to older people but to me as a kid I thought this was very scary movie. Even though Steven Spielberg tried his best to make seem friendly it still gave off a scary and creepy feeling to kids
