Sex & Nudity

  • A couple talk about 'having fun' over the weekend and start kissing and groping, presumably leading to sex.
  • A woman changes to go to bed. She is shown in her panties.
  • Some cleavage show.
  • Casey wears a very short mini skirt for the greater half of the film. A few upskirt scenes, where we see her underwear.

Violence & Gore

  • Lots of gore and blood; lots of closeups of wounds.
  • Many instances of vomiting
  • A Woman is stabbed in the eye with a pencil.
  • A woman gets pulled off a ladder to a climbing frame and gets their leg caught, making it snap violently.
  • A Child's head is shoved onto a wooden spike, projecting lots of blood.
  • A Man's head is cut open horribly and we see lots of blood coming from it.
  • A Woman discovers a man with a baby doll sticking out his stomach. We see lots of blood and intestines.
  • A Child gets pushed onto a sticking up shard of glass and impaled.
  • A Child gets rammed with a car against another car. The body slides slowly off, leaving a trail of blood on the window.
  • Two children attempt to cut open a woman with a blade and stuff a wooden like doll into the gaping wound but their plan is thwarted.
  • A man is cut on the arm/hand with a knife by a child who runs away laughing
  • Several people are hit in the head, not bloody though.
  • We see lots of children carrying around sharp tools and turning violent.

Profanity

  • Several uses of f*ck

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A man is smoking outside in a greenhouse and another woman comes along and joins him.
  • People drink alcohol.... it's Christmas!

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Although the film is very bloody, the film relies on suspense mostly. Lots of tense scenes with unbearable build ups to gory moments.
  • The movie deals with people getting sick and physically "being sick". People who are afraid or can't handle that maybe frightened/grossed out by it.
  • Some chase scenes; lots of screaming and people in distress. Children suddenly turning psycho and killing their parents.
  • Lots of bloody violence towards the adults, and towards the children themselves. Rather disturbing.
