Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

There is a considerable amount of nudity in this film. The boys are shown skinny dipping, and running about the island without trousers at times. It's not too bad, but it's not advised for small children.

Violence & Gore

Group of boys kill another helpless boy though it is vaguely shown in flashes of images. Rock crushes a boy though the camera cuts just as it's about to hit him. Characters briefly describe the process of killing an animal. Several pigs are killed and torn apart by hungry boys, and the boys joke by spattering blood on one another. The head of a sow is severed and placed on a pike. The actual severing isn't shown, but the image of the sow's head is seen several times.

Profanity

Very limited. A handful of mild obscenities.

None.

The whole film can be scary for children. There is a significant amount of violence and savagery. The dance scene is particularly intense, and potentially scary for children.
