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's quite obvious that an unmarried couple has feelings for each other, but they don't do anything.

Violence & Gore

A man's wife and daughter are killed by a snow plow which runs both of them down (not graphic and there's no blood).

A scene that is shown a couple different times shows a man drowning a young boy in a bathtub (no blood).

A young boy's corpse is shown beneath a floor (somewhat grousem, but no blood).

A man gets into a car accident (not actually shown, but there is some blood shown dripping down his face afterward).

A man is trapped inside a house as it is being destroyed (some blood is shown on him, but he manages to get out in time).

A mirror explodes, embedding a small shard of glass in a man's neck (little blood).

Profanity

Very mild, although SOB is used once. H-ll and d-mn are used a few times, as well as oh my God.

Characters smoke cigarettes and drink wine and champaign briefly.

The film has some very scary scenes, but children over 14 (at least) should be okay.

The final sequence when the house is being destroyed could be very intense and frightening to people.
