Parents need to know that this made-for-TV movie about a Sweet 16 birthday party gone horribly, horribly wrong directly targets teens but has iffy messages concerning bullying and revenge. Violent imagery runs the gamut from stabbings, slayings, and stranglings to a graphic beheading ... and there's plenty of blood to go along with it all. There are also some sexually charged situations (making out, etc.), salty language ("ass," "bitch," etc.) and some teen characters who drink alcohol, although no one ever gets out of control. (Those who do drink? Let's just say they don't fare well.)
Positive messages:The focus is on getting even instead of trying to work through your differences. In the end, revenge trumps everything, and the heroine makes sure that her enemy pays for her "crimes."
Positive role models:Some role models are obviously negative, bullying others and -- in the serial killer's case -- murdering the innocent. Others have positive intentions but ultimately make negative choices -- including consciously leaving others to die.
Violence:Plenty of grizzly slayings, including stabbings and a beheading. Blood is sprayed, pooled, dripped, etc.
Sex:Some sexually charged kissing and making out, plus a few mentions of getting "nookie" and "hooking up." Two friends make a pact to sleep with each other if they don't find mates on their own by the end of high school. There's also a brief comic scene in which a teenage boy is discovered looking at porn (which is unseen and only heard via moaning) online.
Language:Audible language includes words like "hell," "damn," "ass," and "bitch," plus iffy phrases such as "screw off," "psycho skank," and "trashy-ass."
Consumerism:A girl receives a BMW as a 16th birthday present, and the logo is visible.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:Some teen characters drink champagne in a limo on the way to the party. Another smuggles in a bottle of liquor to try to spike a nonalcoholic drink. In a flashback, a teenager is shown smoking a cigarette.

i loved the movie, it really kept me on the edge of my seat with all the murderes and i always wanted to know what was going to happen next but there where always times when i had to close my eyes because it got sooooo GORY. This movie is for TEENS only who can handle some pritty intense gore and suspense and horror. NOT FOR KIDS (12 and under)
I saw this with my cousin he sure liked but i had to tell him to close his eyes because of make-out scenes and when the guys is moaning its and good movie if your preteens can handle serial killer's and violence then let them watch it.
about a father and a daughter. yes i agree it has interesting story unlike any other slasher flicks but the killing scences only suitable for ages 16 and up! nice one for me.
OH PLEASE COME ON THE LANGUAGE IS SO MINIMAL AND THE VIOLENCE NOT EVEN BAD AT ALL COMPARED TO THR FIRST ONE JUST LET YOUR CHILD WATCH IF THEY WANT TO AS ALWAYS
