Even the most lighthearted films usually throw in some gripping suspense or emotional drama, and super-dark movies usually throw in funny parts to balance the mood. But sometimes, scenes that are jarringly dark, emotional, violent, or crushingly sad can seemingly come out of nowhere in otherwise 'happy' films where you weren't expecting them. One moment you're watching a movie about a man and his dog solving crimes, and the next moment, BANG, the dog is no more.
Other times, you might be expecting a "sad"scene, but not anythingnear as twisted as the movie actually gets. Films like The Natural and Fried Green Tomatoes are built to make the audience feel good about life, but when they get dark, they get Saw-level dark. These movies certainly arent 'bad' because they have dark moments, but you just may want to pick a different film for family night.
