nudity | A woman is seen in her black bra and panties while searching for a dress in her closet. A teen girl asks her friend if she and her boyfriend "did anything" during their weekend together, and she teases her about what may have gone on. The main character's child wants to be closer with his father, but the unmarried man tells his son that he and his mother were "young" when they had him. |
violence | A horse escapes its trailer aboard a ferry and accidentally jumps overboard, causing it to get sucked underneath and into the propellers. We see the water turn bloody. We see a man wrapped in electrical cords and wires. He sits in a filled bathtub, flips a switch, and electrocutes himself. Some blood can be seen in the water and the bathroom wall. A woman holds a dead girl and watches as she decomposes into dirt. A woman's nose bleeds and later a man and a boy both have bloody noses. A woman takes a shower and we see some bloody water going down the drain. The movie is most known for it's scary scenes where the video is played. The rumor in the movie is after you watch the video you die in seven days. The video shows bloody water, dead bodies, a finger being impaled on a nail, maggots crawling, and lots of other disgusting things. The video only lasts about thirty seconds though. |
profanity | 5/10 - 2 uses of Goddamn - 2 uses of Damn - 1 use of Hell - 8 uses of Shit - 2 uses of Bitch - 1 use of Pissed - 1 use of Pissy - 1 use of the F-word |
alcohol | 4/10 People smoke cigarettes. A woman briefly mentions 'getting high'. A teenager tells her friend to ask her mom where she keeps the Vicodin. In one scene, a man is seen buying cigarettes/drugs and the woman who sells it says that he "will die" |
frightening | The movie overall relies upon psychological and slow-burn horror to unnerve and frighten viewers. The ghastly stringy-haired appearance of the killer, who walks in eerie, jerking movements, may frighten some viewers, especially when considering that the killer is a preteen girl. Several but unexpected jumpscares are used, such as the brief shot of a teen girl's dead body in the closet. MPAA/USA - Rated PG-13 for thematic elements, disturbing images, language and some drug references. BBFC/UK - Rated 15 (strong threat, horror). |
