May 22,1989
| nudity | Lots of talk about a guy doing it to another kid. Some pictures show a child presumably naked but nothing but a bare chest is revealed. A guy brings a working lady to his place and says to the kid she'll be with them for awhile. The lady and the man caress and moan in the bedroom. We hear this but don't see this. What we do see is the look on the kid's face which isn't pleasant as he's deeply disturbed by this. The lady then calls out for the kid to come to bed. |
| violence | Not so much violence/gore, really all disturbing scenes, which there is a extreme ton. Probably the only gore is that a kid finds a dead cat and gets blood on his hands from it. Its a night scene the kid panics and has blood on his hands. The dad lifts up the blanket and furry legs are shown and he says, "its a dead cat." But at this the kid cries. Also a teenager punches another in the face. |
| profanity | Surprisingly, none other than minor name calling. |
| alcohol | No drugs. Lots of smoking by a kid. He's seen smoking at about early middle school age and is seen smoking in about 50% of the remaining scenes he's in (which is a lot). Also when he's younger, he buys cigarettes for his captor. Under age drinking too. A young kid drinks a glass of beer in a diner and when finished the guy asks if he wants another. Like with the smoking he's seen drinking a good bit thru/o the rest of the film only later on drinking bottles of vodka and whiskey. |
| frightening | Extremely Strong. Probably 10/10. A young boy is almost hit by a car. Parents of a young boy are upset when he doesn't come home from school, threatening to whip him if he gets out of line again. The next morning after writing his name on the garage the mom scolds him. A young boy is taken by two men (they pretend to be church guys) In a night scene in a house we hear the boy crying uncomfortably about wanting to go home. We later learn/presume that he was being sexually molested in this scene. It is definately clear that he was sexually molested several times at a later point in the film, and even describes how in court (but the movie only lets on..."he put his...") before ending that scene. It is also let on that this guy did this to some other kids as well. A guy yells at a kid to eat his green beans. A young boy sneaks out at night and walks down a street by a bar where several creepy guys are and pass along numerous creepy comments. A police car comes and they project blame on the kid, but he manages to runs away. When returning the guy questions where he went, he tells him the dog had to use the bathroom and he believes him. A father yells at his kid when (s)he is going to paint over a spot on the garage door. Two men kidnap another kid, this time forceably as one throws the kid into the car. As the driver speeds off gives the other guy something and tells him to put it in the kid's mouth. A teenager and one young kid manage to escape the captors house one night he goes to work. While running down the road, each time a pair of headlights approach some tense music plays hinting on that it might be the kidnapper. A teenager nearly gets into a couple of car accidents. A teenager walks across a guard rail over a ravine. This scene lasts awhile and is very intense. High school kids pick on the teenager about his sexual relationship with his captor (like, where's your purse and showering after gym class about what he might be thinking) This film is definately very intense especially in the second part of the aftermath. Probably a bit more scenes, not listed.I would not recommend anyone under 19 to be allowed to watch it if it was rated in the US it would probaly rated R or NC 17 at least defiantly for the second part of the film |
