Sex & Nudity

  • A group of teen girls plays frisbee on a beach. They're all wearing revealing swimsuits.
  • A lone woman goes to the beach. She strips down to her bathing suit and goes swimming. Some closeup camera angles of her walking around on the beach and sunbathing.
  • A man is taking a shower. We see his bare chest and back, no nudity.

Violence & Gore

  • In the opening scene a man with a black bag over his head kills two attendants and escapes. He stabs one in the eye and slits the throat of the other dude, fairly graphic.
  • A teen girl reminisces to herself about how all of her friends were killed and she's worried for her personal safety.
  • The aforementioned girl is laying on the ground in a pool of blood, with a blond man crouched over her eating chunks and body parts. Fairly graphic.
  • A chick who is chilling at the beach gets her throat slit from behind by the "reaper." The scene is very quick lasting only around 2 seconds.
  • A girl who is doing her laundry gets pushed down by the "reaper" and has her throat sawed. Fairly graphic but scene is over quick.
  • The "reaper" stabs a man while he's taking a shower and his bloody corpse is then seen in the bathtub. Extremely graphic with his sawed off hand still moving and bits of his guts on the floor. The reaper then strangles the wife of the man in the shower.
  • Over an extended sequence, two men with black and white bags over their heads fight each other. The man with the white bag gets stabbed in the stomach/crotch area and there's a lot of blood. Later in the fight the black hooded man is stabbed in the face. They both end up "dying" multiple times but always get up to fight again. Lots of visceral stabbing and blood.

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The opening scene has a man with a black bag over his head kill two others escorting him. Fairly violent but the poor camera angles and weird music adds an unusual comedic effect to what would otherwise be a very disturbing scene.
  • The black bag man, AKA "Reaper," stands menacingly behind a teen girl, his arms outstretched. She turns around and he disappears before anything violent can happen.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Violence & Gore

  • The blond man stalks towards the rest of the girls, but one of them beats him back with a baseball bat and he falls over. He soon gets back up, but then proceeds to presumably get run over by the girls (who fixed the car), although this is not shown.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Talk about how the blond guy was a sadistic maniac, he was eating his victims to survive, and how he's killed 40-100 people before and they're still finding new bodies.
