  • A pregnant woman's bare belly is shown a couple of times.

Violence & Gore

  • A woman wakes up one night and goes into the living room where she finds the other people staying in her house tied up and beaten. A man then has a rope tied around his neck and is shot in the stomach. Blood pours from the wound and then from his mouth as he dies.
  • A woman is stabbed repeatedly. A lot of blood is shown. She cries and begs the killer to stop as she tries to crawl away. The killer stabs her several more times, and much more blood is shown.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Basically everything in the Violence and Gore category could be considered scary. The film has a very uneasy atmosphere throughout.
  • A tape player kicks on at random while a character is in a dark room with it, startling her.
  • While stalking victims, the cult members chant eerily over and over.
  • An intruder peeks in through a window at a woman and waves ominously at her when she looks up.
  • A character has very scary nightmares about gruesome, brutal murders. They are shown in graphic detail more than once throughout the film. The character wakes up screaming and crying when they are over.
  • All of the characters are in peril throughout the film. One of them is a pregnant woman, and she constantly fears for the safety of her child. She begs the intruders not to hurt her baby. The fact that a pregnant woman is being terrorized and that her baby is in danger may be upsetting for some.
