Sex & Nudity

  • A couple make out in a tent, no nudity is shown though.
  • T. P. briefly shows his bare rear as he enters a hot tub.
  • A woman's breasts are exposed as she is getting into a hot tub.

Violence & Gore

  • Violence can be a little bloody but most is seen offscreen
  • A man murders his family with an axe while they sleep.
  • A man has his throat ripped out.
  • A man is choked with a rope, and hung from a tree. The villain yanks on his legs, causing the man's neck to break.
  • A woman finds a man's head, and bloody stump
  • A woman is decapitated by a car-hood (her head is later found under the hood).
  • A man is pulled through a car door, and killed offscreen.
  • After an extensive chase scene, a woman gets an axe in the chest.
  • A woman's face is slashed and she is forced, still alive, onto a meat hook.

Profanity

  • There is also a use off the d-word, but not much at all
  • Very little profanity used in the film. However, there are minor words used like "Shit".

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Only a reference. A man mentions that the camp counselors have been hiding beer, against the rules, and requests that they save him one.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • It's frightening at times but what else are you expecting from an 80's slasher film.
  • This coulda got away with a PG-13 rating.
  • A handful of deaths in the film take place offscreen, or are blocked from camera view and lack explicit gore, but could still be considered frightening and intense. There are a number of shots in which the villain suddenly appears that are meant to frighten the viewer, or are played for suspense as he lurks in the bushes.
