I would make it R For Some strong killing/violence, graphic language, pervasive drug material and a couple sexual images.

15 and up!

I loved it and so did my 15 year old daughter but no one younger.

This movie is very viotent for younger teens. It also says a curse word about every minute of the movie. I would not let you kid see it unless you have a talk with your kid before he or she see's Zodiac. There was also a part with Pornoagraphy. It is a good movie for adults not kids.

Zodiac is a spectacular film that deserves an Oscar nomination.It does have voilence in it for example the Zodiac killer sneaks in back of a taxi driver and shots him in the head when the driver pulls over.You don't see very much blood.Another example is that a couple is stabbed to death.Language is another issue.Words like the f word the s word and the c word are used.Achol and drugs are used.Robert Downey Jr (who plays Paul Avery)always hangs out in a bar and drinks.He also smokes more than a normal smoker does.Later on he has an oxygen tank connected to his mouth.Commercialism is used in the movie (from what I remember) They commercialis diffrent 1960's 1970's items.I think it is a great movie.It is pretty complicated for kids but i'm smart and i got the point.If you have not seen it rent it.

okay so I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MOVIE! Not for horror or suspence, but because it is well made. I am a huge horror fan, violence and language could offend some people, I would say if ur kid is under fifteen watch the movie first/ know your kid really well.

this was the most boring 'horror' movie i've ever seen. kids, fear not, you'll fall asleep anyway.

This movie was good....but you should know your kid before they see it. I think it's ok for 15+. It has violence, of course, but if your kid has seen other scary movies it's nothing different. It's more informative than anything.

This was a very informative movie on the killer, and an amazing movie. A little long, but very good overall.

i think zodiac is a very good movie it is not at all scary what so ever. there is a few scenes where u see alot of blood like on a car door people being stabbed and the zodiac killer killing someone in the head. it is more of a mystery/learning movie about the history of the zodiac killer and what the people went through with it in that time. i recomend it for people that are from the ages of 14+

This movie is long, and most of it is talking. It is not a slasher movie: it's a smart psychological thriller. It wasn't as violent as it's made out to seem; there's only three or four scenes that are violent and they are very graphic. Also a lot of tension. But they are only for about a total of 10 minutes of the movie. The rest of the violence is discussed rather than shown. They did use the f-word about 10+ times, but not as much as other movies I've seen. The one guy (played by Robert Downey, Jr. Coincidence?) is an alcoholic and druggie. But this movie is good and if your kids can understand what's going on and can handle violence, they should be fine, unless they scare eaisly, because this was based on true events.
