Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this new feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes .
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

A man unzips a womans dress. She is seen in two scenes with her dress unzipped (we see her bare back). She also is seen in the bath tub twice, no nudity shown. Just knees and shoulders.

A man is seen rubbing her leg after they start kissing. He reaches under her dress and takes off her panties. She unbuttons his pants (they are interrupted).

The woman takes off her dress (we do not see that happen), we see her with a shirt and panties, next scene she is putting on her pants.

A few scenes show that man and woman kissing, and hugging.

Violence & Gore

A man is shot in the head; We don't see the wound completely but blood pools from the wound. A woman shoots at the windshield of a car. A car crashes deliberately into another car. A woman destroys a radio with an ax.



BIG SPOILER: After being tied up to chairs, a man and a woman are stabbed again and again slowly by three masked stalkers. We hear screams and moans. We also see a lot of blood covering their clothes later on. The most violent thing about this scene is that you can glimpse the knives entering their bodies very briefly.

Profanity

Very mild profanity for an R-rated movie. 7 f-words, 5 s-words, 1 bulls-t, 1 bastard, and 2 damns.

Just champagne drinking and some cigarette smoking.

A woman is frightened and startled many times. She screams is horror. A man suddenly knocks through a door with an ax. A woman screams when she glimpses a masked person in her window. A woman screams very suddenly and scares two boys. People wear frightening masks and chase a man and a woman. Some glasses are broken. A man and women pound heavily on door throughout the movie very suddenly. Three strangers write merciful messages on the windows of a house. Windows are shattered. A woman smokes a cigarette when a masked man suddenly enters her house from a dark hallway behind her. He watches her for some time and leaves when she looks his way. A man shoots a man in the head(He is mistaken for one of the masked strangers). A couple is shocked and scared when three masked strangers appear to be stalking them outside their house.
