Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that Open Windows is a thriller that takes place almost entirely on a laptop -- through webcams, streaming videos, and video chats. It features the former porn star Sasha Grey, who's the object of a male character's obsession and is viewed as a sexual object. She exposes her breasts in one scene. Language is strong, with many uses of "f--k" and "s--t," as well as other words. Grey's character is kidnapped and tied up; other violence includes a man being bound and given electric shocks, shooting, a Taser gun, car chases, crashes, and explosions. A minor character can be seen snorting cocaine, and drugs are discussed. The story is set in the movie industry, where a new zombie film is being promoted. A clip from the fake "movie" is shown, with some violence.
