‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day,’ horror flicks get ratings from MTRCB

 

FANS of superhero films and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) of all ages are expected to flock to movie houses after the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) released its classification ratings for “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” and two horror films slated for release this week.

 

MTRCB Chair and CEO Lala Sotto reminded parents and guardians of young viewers to check the Board’s ratings before purchasing their tickets.

 

“Mahalaga ang gabay ng mga magulang sa mga batang manonood. Gusto nating mag-enjoy ang ating mga anak, ngunit kailangan pa rin natin silang alalayan at gabayan sa pag-intindi ng kanilang napapanood,” she said.

 

“Inaanyayahan namin ang publiko na tangkilikin ang mga tampok na sineng ito bilang suporta sa industriya ng pelikula,” Sotto went on.

 

The Agency gave a PG (Parental Guidance) rating to “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” that stars Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Mark Ruffalo, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, etc.

 

Running for two hours, 24 minutes and 50 seconds, this much-awaited latest installment in the “Spider-Man” franchise will be released in cinemas on Friday, 31 July 2026.

 

The MTRCB said the film’s frequent fantasy, action, violence, peril and mildly frightening scenes may not be appropriate for very young children without parental guidance.

 

“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” also has frequent comic book action involving hand-to-hand combat, explosions, weapons, and superhero battles, occasional mild expletives, action-related dialogue, as well as suspenseful scenes involving supervillains, transformations and threatening situations.

 

“The content remains within the standards typically associated with Marvel Cinematic Universe superhero films and is appropriate for family viewing under parental supervision,” the Agency said.

 

It also cautioned parents to remind children that the superhero stunts, acrobatic feats and dangerous acts are “fantasy and should never be attempted in real life.”

 

Meanwhile, the MTRCB also gave appropriate ratings to two horror flicks showing in theaters this week.

 

The director’s cut of “Final Summer,” a horror-suspense movie running for one hour, 22 minutes and 21 seconds, was given an R-16 rating. It contains “graphic but non-gratuitous depiction of horror, frightening scenes, violence and gore” that are unsuitable for viewers below 16 years old.

 

The film stars Thom Mathews, Carl Bailey, Bishop Stevens and Nora Yates. It will be exclusively shown in Megaworld Cinemas.

 

“The Convenience Store,” a Japanese horror film that runs for one hour, 23 minutes and 37 seconds and stars Kotona Minami, was rated R-13.

 

The Agency said the film’s violence, gore and horrific scenes are suitable for viewers aged 13 years old and above.

 

A G or General Audience rating means a film is suitable for all ages, while PG or Parental Guidance means a parent or guardian must be present to supervise younger viewers.

 

An R-13 means a film is suitable for viewers aged 13 and up, while an R-16 is for 16 years old and above. An R-18 is for adult audiences only.
