    • We see couples kissing.
    • Sex between college students is discussed, but nothing is shown.
    • A character prepares to masturbate to porn. We briefly see two men kissing passionately on computer screen.

    • A car drives over someone, we see the dead body.
    • A police car blows up with someone in the back seat.

    Crude or Profane Language: Excessive

    • We hear the f-word once. We also hear “sh-t,” “b–ch,” “a–,” “a–hole,” “d–n,” “b–ch,”  and “h–l” throughout the film.

    Drug and Alcohol Content: Moderate

    • A main character wakes up hungover and discusses her drunken antics from the previous night.
    • We see college students drinking at a party.
    • A college guy has a bong.

    Will Teens Like It? Yes

    • I interviewed 4 pre-teen girls who thought the film was funny, scary and entertaining.

    Overall this is an entertaining horror film with comedic overtones. Parents need to be aware of the violence, language and sexual contents.
