Sex & Nudity

  • A woman's bare back is briefly shown in the shower. Nothing sexual.
  • One of the masked men say, "I reckon the teacher would be good for a gang bang, hunh?" and they start laughing. Another man grabs a woman's skirt and lifts it up as she's walking, chasing her as she goes to a van. Another masked man lasciviously leans toward a teenage girl and says, "Come on sweetheaaart." She is frightened and gets in a van quickly to escape his advances. This is all in one scene.
  • A masked man grabs a teenage girl's arm and says in a predatory manner: "Here you go darlin. You're gonna loooove this." She squirms out of his grasp and the teacher helps get her away from the man. Nothing happens to the girl.
  • A woman removes all her clothes except her underwear to avoid getting them wet. A teenage boy is standing nearby. He averts his eyes and turns away. When she's swimming, you kind of see side boob and the outline of breasts as she swims away. As she's drying off, the boy watches her but is quick to stop when asked a question. Nothing overly sexual at all though. Later, schoolkids and their teacher take off their main clothing to avoid getting them wet, leaving on their underwear and tanktops. Again, no nudity is shown, nothing sexual.
  • A masked man grabs a woman's breast. She hits him and calls him bastard.
  • A man threatens a group of kids and their teacher. He says "We're gonna have fun tonight. Especially the young one with the big tits." A teenage girl grabs her shirt closed and walks away frightened.

Violence & Gore

  • In the opening scene, a teenage boy shoots a fox. You see him holding it up by the tail. It's slightly bloody. His bloody shirt is briefly seen. Right after this, a dead, mangled cat is briefly shown. A boy pokes it with a stick and spits on it.
  • A masked man's head is seen detaching from his body. A woman turns a corner and sees the man standing there. He's actually dead and hanging from the fence. His body falls down away from his head, blood is seen dripping down from the neck area.
  • A group of kids and their teacher trap a man in a cave, violently killing him - stabbing him with spears, yelling, hitting with rocks, chopping him with an ax, etc. You see kids yelling as they're doing it, the man's body is seen bloody, his eyes open, slowly moving as everyone is stabbing at him.

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A teenage boy is seen smoking. It's a short scene and he is yelled at by kids.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Masked men kidnap children and their teacher. They use shotguns, which are readily shoved in everyone's faces. The men yell at the teacher and kids a lot. A menacing vibe is used and will be frightening to younger kids.
  • A young boy has a shotgun pointed at his face as a masked man is yelling at a woman, threatening to kill the boy.
  • Schoolkids and their teacher told to go into a small hole in the side of a mountain.
  • A woman starts to drown. She is panicking underwater while trying to help a young girl swim. A teenage boy saves both of them.

Spoilers

Violence & Gore

  • A group of masked men take an old man and woman hostage. Guns are waved around a lot, lots of yelling. The woman is hit into the wall, the old man is shot in the gut, lots of blood seen. The kids see everything and scream in response. The old woman is later heard to be shot.
  • Men are heard yelling at each other. A gunshot is heard and the kids jump in response.
  • A young boy is shot in the shoulder. You see blood on his shirt and briefly see his wound. He winces in pain and is once seen to pass out from the pain.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A masked man chases a teacher. She yells and is screaming to get away from him. Kids are watching and powerless to help. She fights him off by pushing him onto spears, which kill him. This scene is intense.
  • The final shot of the film is of a heart in a jar in the children's classroom. It's heavily implied that it's one of their former captors' hearts, who was severely mutilated according to the police.
