Taom, you are correct about From Hell. I didn't hate it quite as much as you seem to, but it really is very weak in comparison to Alan Moore's comic.
Anyway, the actual rating of a movie means very little to me. One of my favorite horror movies, The Haunting, contains very little violence, no foul language that I can recall, and is still scary as hell. If it was released today unchanged, I couldn't see it getting anything more than a PG rating. I do enjoy a gore fest as much as the next guy, but it's not the be all end all of horror.
