The movie rating service doled out the harsh metric citing “some disturbing, bloody images.” But the movie’s filmmakers fear the rating is motivated by politics. “We made a pro-life movie in a pro-choice town” said Chuck Konzelman, who along with Cary Solomon wrote and directed Unplanned.
Solomon excoriated Hollywood’s hypocrisy for the rating awarded the film. “The standard used to rate our movie is being applied inconsistently as it relates to bloody images on-screen,” he told Breitbart News. “In fact, Happy Death Day 2U (a “slasher” film with several violent murder scenes) has far more blood and gore than our film, and it received a PG-13 rating.”
Producers of Unplanned also fear that the harsh rating will cause many Christians who eschew R-rated films to skip the movie despite that its content doesn’t rate the restrictive rating.
