No, I don't think she hasn't. She likes scary movies and I am guessing she likes the type of movies that have something happen to make you jump out of your seat.
Just to clarify, I have never watched any of the Saw movies myself. I was flipping through channels and caught one scene of someone trying to escape but his only way out was to push his face through a bunch of knives which would have scarred him for life. It wasn't scary at all just gross in my opinion.
I also don't allow her to watch those types of movies in my home. Apparently, her friends parents allow them to watch these movies at sleepovers unbeknownst to me....they don't ask if I am ok with it or anything.
The other day, she wanted to watch "The Silence of the Lambs" which I have on DVD. I told her no way could she watch it and would only slightly consider it if it was on a major network with the nastier parts cut out. She went into a whole monologue about how most everyone in her grade has seen it and I apparently am the only parent who won't allow it.
I was trying to think of some movies that would probably be scary for her but without the profanity, blood, sex, etc. As a side note; I have had discussions with her friends parents as to what I allow her to watch and not watch and would ask that they abide by my standards when she is a guest in their home. They say ok but I think the movie watching still continues. She has watched horror movies that I think are inappropriate for her age even after discussing but when I ask where she saw it; she has selective memory.
