Sex & Nudity

  • There is a scene where Grace and Jim are having a shower together. They kiss but do not have sex and no actual nudity is shown.
  • The villain asks Jim how long he has been f---ing Grace.
  • Another sexual reference is when Grace feels someone in her bed (thinking it was Jim), and says "you're making me horny."
  • At the beginning of the movie Grace changes her clothes in the car and her bra is seen.
  • In general the movie has no sexual content.

Spoilers

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • (If you were to watch the 'Deleted Scenes,' you can see they actually took a lot of gore out of the movie. Many scenes in the movie are far more gory then the actual movie itself. if you were to watch the deleted scene and the college couple are being held in interrogation, you see more gore. In the actual movie you only see blood on the cops and a dog licking (or eating) at a cop. In one of several deleted scenes, this scene is far more gory. You see a few cops with there heads open and the dog eating a cop's brain, rather then just chewing on his skin. Very Disturbing and very graphic.
