The recent hit at the box office, The Hunger Games, may be too violent for children. Many parents have left with their young kids in the middle of the film because of this violence.

Some scenes of the movie include children killing one another, and other disturbing themes. The children in the film are part of a dystopia where they are forced to fight one another as punishment for their wrongdoings.

The British Board of Film Classification, or the BBFC, gave the film a 12A rating, which means that no child under 12 can see the film alone. Originally, the film was given a rating of 15, but producers of the film and the BBFC both agreed to drop the rating.

The Hunger Games is based on the best-selling novel written by Suzanne Collins. Read more here.
