Sex & Nudity

  • A hitchhiker, in a POV shot, is seen running his eyes along a woman's body while in her car from her legs to her chest.
  • Numerous characters and extras, including underage, are seen in bikinis throughout the film.
  • Two characters kiss under the dim light of the evening, with just several second of them making out.
  • Two characters having an extramarital affair are seen in bed together, covered by the sheets, shortly before redressing.
  • A woman is seen naked in the shower, including in the reflection of sunglasses. Her nudity appears to be mostly obscured.

Violence & Gore

  • The movie begins with the stabbing of a woman on a beach by a killer dressed in scuba gear. They briefly get into a struggle, before the woman drops onto her beach towel covered in her blood, and the killer runs with the knife in hand.
  • A woman is seen dead in a bed, covered in a sheet stained with her blood.
  • Some scenes of fistfights, nothing graphic.
  • A woman is stabbed while in the shower. We see the knife piercing her and blood, but the graphics are minimal.
  • A character is strangled to death with a cord, staring right at the killer and seeing his reflection in the killer's shades.
  • A man is attacked from a glass bottle being smashed in his head. We see blood.
  • A car chase ensues, including with the protagonist shoving a driver onto the road to steal his car.
  • A woman is chased along the beach by the killer, before her throat is slashed and she's left dead in the tides on the shore. There's bad lighting, which barely shows any violence or blood.
  • Two characters exchange gunfire. One is shot dead and stumbles over the edge of a turtle pond. A dummy obviously crashes into the waters and is left floating, appearing to look like the dead character. It's unknown what happened to the turtles.

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Several characters smoke throughout the film, and there are scenes that show alcoholic beverages in glasses and bottles.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The flashback scenes have distressing displays of violence and a dizzying strobe effect.

Spoilers

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

Violence & Gore

  • A husband in flashbacks is seen stabbing his wife to death, while their son witnesses the murder from behind a curtain
  • Flashbacks show a glass bowl filled with goldfish being knocked over. The fish are seen flopping on the floor and presumably die. This is presumed to be real specifically in regards to the fish.
  • A car crash with two men inside happen. One is thrown out of the car, before he pulls the other man out. The car is on fire and shortly after explodes when they reach a safe distance. The other man's hands are burned, so he's later bandaged up at the hospital. The graphics are minimum, and a toy car is obviously used in several scenes of the crash itself.
