Some violence but not too bad. It's just like choking and stabbing with a pen but that's like old-fashion violence. and some language. oh and why is consumerism a concern?!!! lol

What Parents Need to Know
About Red Eye
Parents need to know that the film focuses on a scary man threatening a young woman, who fights back with ingenuity and some violence. Directed by Wes Craven (Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream), it adopts a basic slasher movie structure, with jump scenes, clever framing, and ominous lighting, music, and camera angles: all this can be scary for younger viewers. Characters use harsh language, drink and smoke briefly, and commit various sorts of mayhem (hitting, stabbing with a pen, shooting, slamming with household items, crashing cars, shooting a shoulder-mounted missile).

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the ways Lisa comes up with to resist the terrorist, as she tries to leave messages, get attention from flight attendants, and finally resists (and solicits audience cheers). How does the movie build toward showing her resourcefulness, by first making her seem vulnerable and afraid? As the terrorists threaten family units (not only Lisa's father, but also the family of the Homeland Security Deputy Director), how does the movie use the idea of "terrorism" as an updated metaphorical danger?

THE most suspensful movie I have ever seen in my life!!!!
This is a VERY, VERY supensful movie, and the suspense may be too intense for younger viewers, it has other issues too: 1. little violence, but when it dose happen it can be intense, including: Someone being stabed by a pen, a man chokes a woman, a man chaces a woman through her house and atempts to kill her, some one is hit by a car, death threts, a man knocks out a woman, litttle blood, only one person dies in the whole movie. 3. Some language including one F--k, (if you listen closely you can hear another one when the villian is chocking the woman, but it's hard to hear) as well as some milder profanities. 3. some drinking. So overall this is a very suspensuf movie for teens!

great movie for about 10+
wow. great thriller!!! this is the movie that really got me into the thriller genre, which got me to the horror genre, and finally slasher. the basic storyline is that the main character, Lisa, is the owner of a hotel chain in florida. when her plane is delayed and she has to take a red eye flight, she meets a "nice" man who buys her a drink. when the plane takes off, she discovers that the man she is sitting by ,[the "nice" man], is a man who wants to kill a government official and his family. this movie is extremely good! its one of those "cant miss" movies that you've never seen. if u have a kid about 10 years old who wants to watch this movie, let them. the only violence is hitting/kicking. one stabbing with a pen in self defense, and someone trys to kill a family of gov. memeber with a missile. language is limited to s--t, god d--n it, and possibly 1 f-word. (i havent seen this movie in almost 4 years). enjoy!!! =D

Craven Fans Rejoice!!
I happen to absolutely LOVE Wes Craven's work. You may recognize the heroine (Rachael McAdams) from The Family Stone, Mean Girls, and The Notebook. This movie can get pretty intense, but for those who saw the remake of When a Stranger Calls, its nothing big. Parents may cringe at the sexual refrences (rape) and the use of a certain four letter word, but, the violence is what would get most. For those familar with Craven's work, this movie is very laid back. The most violent moment is when the "bad guy" is stabbed in the adam's apple with a pen, resulting one of those "ewww" kinda moments. Kids will enjoy being able to be scared without scaring(at least not too badly) their parents. I think this one depends on your kids, and for younger ones (11-) should be viewed in broad daylight, with parents close at hand. For the older ones (13+) depending on how you handle horror, you may want to invite a friend over...

Entertaining...........
This movie was pretty good. It was not as scary as I had heard it was. It will entertain you, but don't expect anything great.

Manipulation....
If your parents refuse to let you see scary movies, try to convince them to lat you see this- scary, but it seems like it wont be.

A very Suspenseful movie...
Red Eye is a great movie, but there are some violent parts that are not good for the younger, more easily scared type. Probably the scariest parts are when the Asassin gets struck in the neck by a pen, and when he gets shot by a shoulder-held gun. There is a brief alcoholic reference, a Bay Breeze at an airport bar. There is also a brief moment where the main character takes off some of her clothes, leaving just the undergarments and pants, but it is all part of the plot. Otherwise, this movie is a must-see for people who love edge-of-your-seat thrillers!
