The content of this page was created directly by users and has not been screened or verified by IMDb staff.
Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

It seems that a couple is about to have sex, but they are interrupted before they can do anything.

A woman's underwear is seen, but very briefly.

A woman is briefly shown taking a bath (no nudity is seen).

Violence & Gore

A man is shot in the head (we don't see the wound completely, but blood pools from it very briefly).

BIG SPOILER: After being tied up to chairs, a man and a woman are stabbed again and again by the three masked stalkers (we hear screams and moans; we also see a lot of blood covering their clothes later on, but we don't actually see the stabbing on-camera).

BIG SPOILER: In the unrated version, after she is stabbed, the woman wakes to a cell phone ringing. She drags her bloody body across the floor to answer it, then falls unconscious (a fair amount of blood is seen here).

Profanity

Contains mild profanity use.

A few "F"-words (very in-frequent)

A couple drinks champagne.

A character smokes a cigarette.

A woman is frightened and startled many times; she screams in horror.

A man suddenly knocks through a door with an axe.

A woman screams when she glimpses at a masked person in her window.

A woman screams very suddenly and scares two boys.

Three people wear frightening masks, stalk and chase a man and a woman through their isolated vacation home.

A woman smokes a cigarette when a masked man suddenly enters her house from a dark hallway behind her (he watches her for some time and leaves when she looks his way).

A man accidentally shoots another man in the head (very sudden and startling).

A couple is shocked and scared when three masked strangers appear to be stalking them both inside and outside their house.

In the unrated version, a woman is startled and frightened by one of the strangers who appears behind her (she cries and covers her eyes), but he doesn't do anything to her.
