Yes, PG movies can have blood, but it must be minimal, brief, unrealistic, or stylized, with no lingering detail or graphic gore, as excessive blood or realistic injury typically pushes a film towards a PG-13 or R rating. The key is context and intensity: cartoonish or comedic blood (like in Hotel Transylvania) is fine, but realistic wounds, frequent blood, or disturbing detail usually warrants a higher rating.
Violence will usually be mild. There should be no detail of violence in a PG work, so while there might be some blood, we would not see how the injury was inflicted in strong detail. Violence is generally more acceptable in a historical, comedic or fantasy setting, because of the distancing that this provides.
There may be some profanity and some depictions of violence or brief nudity. But these elements are not deemed so intense as to require that parents be strongly cautioned beyond the suggestion of parental guidance. There is no drug use content in a PG-rated motion picture.
A PG rating means "Parental Guidance Suggested," so it can be okay for a 7-year-old, but it depends heavily on your child's maturity, sensitivity, and the specific movie's content, as PG films might have mild violence, language, or themes that could be confusing or upsetting for some kids their age. You, as the parent, know best if a particular PG film suits your child, as ratings are general guidelines, not strict rules.
Yes -- several films and practical-effects-heavy productions have used real animal blood (most commonly pig's blood) on set, particularly in earlier eras or when productions demanded highly realistic fluid behavior that prosthetics or vegetable-based substitutes couldn't convincingly replicate.
Try beets with a little distilled water. For high-viscosity wounds, there is a kind of jelly blood that can go on an actor which will not run, drip, or move. Blood pool created using 'dragon skin' for Julia Cho's “Office Hour” at the Martinson Theater (2017).
Iron Lung. The movie holds the world record for most fake blood used in a movie, approximately 80,000 gallons, beating Evil Dead (2013)'s 50,000.
Addition of the PG-13 rating
In the 1980s, complaints about violence and gore in films such as Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Gremlins, both of which received PG ratings, refocused attention on films seen by younger children.
PG - The US PG rating means the same as in the UK: Parental Guidance Suggested. Some Material May Not Be Suitable For Children. PG-13 - Similar to the UK's 12A rating, except that it applies to those aged 13 or under rather than 12. The content may not be too different, but always check if you're unsure.
According to the Motion Picture Association, the PG-13 label means the movie is fine for kids over the age of thirteen. It may not, however, be appropriate for children under thirteen because of language, violence, nudity, and other mature content. But some parents say many PG-13 movies make them uncomfortable.
There's no single #1 saddest movie, as it's subjective, but Schindler's List, Grave of the Fireflies, Requiem for a Dream, and Hachi: A Dog's Tale are consistently ranked among the most heartbreaking, often cited for their historical tragedy (Schindler's List, Grave of the Fireflies), intense emotional depth (Requiem for a Dream, Brokeback Mountain), or profound loyalty (Hachi). Other common contenders include The Green Mile, Titanic, and Manchester by the Sea.
There may be mild sex references and innuendo only. Threat and scary scenes should not be prolonged or intense. Violence will be mild, with more impactful moments permitted if justified by context. Injury detail, including sight of blood, should be brief.
Depictions of blood/gore are allowed if lingering detail is minimal, however it may be more than minimal if infrequent. Violence should not be realistic and persistent and/or show realistic gore with sight of mutilation of body parts with realistic reactions.
PG: Natural nudity, with no sexual context. U: Mild sexual behaviour (for example, kissing) and references only (for example, to 'making love'). PG: Sexual activity may be implied, but should be discreet and infrequent.
PG means parental guidance. The movie is likely for children, but parents should watch the movie with their children, there may be some parts of the movie that could scare the child or the parents may not feel is suitable for a child. Some crude humor or mild violence might be in the movie.
12A WITH PARENTAL GUIDANCE. 12A means that the BBFC have classified the film unsuitable for children under 12. However, they may still watch the film, as long as they are accompanied by someone over 18 at all times during the showing.

“R” stands for "Restricted." This is the first rating that includes a strict rule: “Under 17 Requires Accompanying Parent or Adult Guardian.” That means no one under 17 can watch an R-rated movie in a theater without having an adult with them.
A Z-grade movie is an extremely low-budget film, even worse than a B-movie, characterized by terrible production quality, bad acting, poor scripts, and obvious mistakes (like crew members in shot). These films often lack professionalism, sometimes making unintentional comedy that gives them cult status, appealing to audiences who enjoy "so bad it's good" cinema.
The movie that took 48 years to make is The Other Side of the Wind, Orson Welles' final, unfinished film that began shooting in the 1970s and was finally completed and released by Netflix in 2018, long after Welles' death. The project was famously trapped in legal issues and distribution nightmares, with production spanning years and the editing process continuing posthumously until its eventual release, making it one of the longest-produced films ever.
Not many "jump scares" but some could be considered jump scares. Mostly just gory scenes. Rated R for graphic violence, horror, language, sexual references, drinking and some mature content. 15+ maturity level.
