Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this film isn't dirty, gory, or any of the other things parents fear from brutal modern horror flicks, however some of the scenes, particularly the one where off-screen birds attack and wound screaming children on a playground, are downright disturbing. Most of the fear is derived from suspense.

Sexual Content

Innuendos are couched so delicately they'll sail right over the heads of anyone under high-school age.

Violence

No gore and violence takes place off-screen, but some of the scenes, particularly the one where off-screen birds attack and wound screaming children on a playground, are downright disturbing. Some deaths.
