The trailer for Ma includes dead bodies and a man being struck by a car while Brightburn has violence and a child in a scary mask.

BBC journalist Charlie Jones, 34, who took her daughter, two, to the film, said: “There were lots of kids crying.”

A spokesman for Empire Cinemas said: "We are investigating how an inappropriate trailer was played before a screening of Peppa Pig at our Ipswich Cinema for which we apologise.

"As soon as the staff on site were made aware of the situation, the programme was stopped and trailers were taken off-screen immediately.
