Labyrinth
A teenage girl races through a fantastical maze of puppets, puzzles, and peculiar creatures to rescue her baby brother from the Goblin King, with Jim Henson's imaginative world delivering genuine wonder alongside some genuinely eerie moments. The film's quirky humor and catchy David Bowie songs are beloved, but a few scenes lean darker and stranger than a typical family adventure.
Confident viewers around 8 and up will enjoy it most; younger kids can watch with a grown-up nearby for the spookier stretches.
If you’d rather skip
The film's darkest stretch: a stormy night, creeping goblins, and Toby's sudden disappearance from his cot; most likely to upset younger or sensitive viewers.
Jareth appears and throws a snake at Sarah; it quickly transforms into a scarf then a laughing goblin, keeping the tone closer to unsettling than truly frightening.
Sarah falls into a pit where hands emerge from the walls forming eerie faces that speak to her in echoing voices.
