Sex & Nudity

  • A very brief sexual scene occurs. No nudity.
  • The second sex scene shows a man roughly picking up a woman as she tries to run upstairs. The man starts kissing her as she then wraps her legs around him. The man starts to thrust and the woman starts groaning as the camera cuts away.
  • A man is shown fully nude when he gets out of bed.
  • A woman's bare breast can be seen for a couple seconds when she breastfeeds her baby.
  • The woman was told that she was not wearing a bra and that she should cover her blouse because it is transparent. When she looks at herself, her breasts are briefly shown.
  • Earliest part of the film, after getting off bed, the main character roams the house wearing see through chemise. Her nipples can be seen through it.

Violence & Gore

  • The film comprises scenes of violence with some details depicted. These include scenes where characters are shot fatally.
  • A pregnant woman and her husband are assaulted by being sprayed in the face with tear gas.
  • A man's jaw is blown off with a shotgun after attempting to help a pregnant woman. The bloody aftermath is shown on the man's face.
  • A young man grabs a brass doorknob and bludgeons another young man to death with it. Blood pools under the victim's head.
  • A crowd of violent protesters are seen attacking riot police with objects and physical assault as the police are trying to fend off the violent crowd.
  • A woman holds two pistols and shoots six people in the head while their heads are bagged and they are on the ground. She is then killed a moment later, as her death is quick and intense.
  • Cannibalism and child sacrifice are referenced and are major themes.

Profanity

  • There is infrequent use of very strong language including the words "fuck" and "cunt" respectively.
  • Two uses of "fuck," one referencing sex ("you won't even fuck me"). A man calls a woman a "cunt." A woman is called several foul names including "bitch," "slut," "cunt," and "whore" respectively.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Adults are seen socially drinking, and are briefly implied to be intoxicated.
  • An older man smokes, and is told not to do so indoors.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • These include a cannibalism scene; a scene where a light bulb explodes; a scene where a woman is set on fire, a scene where someone is clubbed in the head by a heavy metal object, and a scene of people being shot.
  • As a woman is cleaning a toilet, blood appears in the water.
  • This is a VERY disturbing, intense, and uncomfortable film, with the unwelcome 'guests' entering the home, the film's overall tone, and especially the ending. Easily one of the most disturbing movies of all time.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • A woman's bare breasts are briefly shown when she is stripped by a crowd and beaten to near death.(see Violence & Gore for more details).
  • Crowd attacks a woman and her dress rips and breasts are shown.

Violence & Gore

  • A terrified newborn baby is passed among an unruly mob. His mother arrives to discovers the corpse - a wholly dark take on the Communion. NOTE: this is fairly quick and almost entirely in the dark, making details hard to notice
  • A woman ruptures an oil tank and drops a lighter on the spilled fluid, destroying the whole house and killing everyone inside.
  • A man rips a woman's heart out of her charred, burnt, and dying body, killing her instantly as her corpse disintegrates.
  • A woman, in a rage-induced violent rampage, grabs a shard of broken glass and slashes and stabs several people including a child, killing them in bloody detail (no sympathy for these characters since they killed and ate her baby)
  • A young woman attempts to help a pregnant woman escape her house that has descended into chaos before she is eventually beaten to death by the crowd.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The film contains a disturbing sex scene that is heavily implied to be marital rape as it is arguable if it's consensual or not. She initially resists her husband's advances by repeatedly telling him no before she eventually reciprocates.
