profanity | One use of f*** which is mumbled. Some use of mild profanity "Damn", "Hell", "Crap" and 5 uses of s*** are used. Uses of SOB. |
alcohol | Main hang out is the local bar. Mom and Dr. drink wine together. |
frightening | Overall the movie is a thriller, there are many extremely intense scenes of people trying to survive. Young kids should not watch it unless accompained by an adult. The scenes described above in violence/gore may appear frightening to some viewers. A lot of screaming. Children in peril. The death of the lady who got burned in the acid lake may be upsetting to younger viewers. |
