OK movie.
I would of rated off for 16 and under if there were no sexual content. Very grusome and bloody. Alot of language and sexual content. Mild drinking.

The ruins is a very scary picture but definitely not for children.
Honestly if your kids haven't seen any R rated material this is not age appropriate. The violence is a major issue. Two people have to break a guy's leg off with a rock and burn the skin with cooking oil. A girl cuts herself. There is more graphic violence. The sexual content is very iffy. I didn't say it was off because it's not the worst I've seen but still there is some nudity that's partially explicit and some sexual references. The language is a big issue. There's like 20 something f words and its derivatives, anatomical terms, scatological terms, religious exclamations and profanities. Overall not for the kids.

Regret Watching It
I have regretted watching this film ever since I saw it two years ago. Definitely not a smart pick for viewers who are relatively new to the horror genre. Experiencing this as my first R-rated film, I know this movie seriously upset me and I would never chose to see it again. Extremely violent, graphic, gory and disturbing. There is also a significant amount of sex related material, including male and female nudity. Unless you are already very desensitized and get a thrill out of chilling terror and intense gore, I would not recommend this movie to anybody.

My Mom took me to see it on my 14th b-day
After I watched it I knew it was something a little out of my age level, and I also think this isn't worth watching again. But it does make you jump at some points

Urghhhhh"...............
Awww sh*t.I just wasted 2 hours of my life I won't be getting back anytime soon watching this with my dad at the movies yesterday.Extremely brutal and graphic.For those of you who want to know if this is a cannibal movie,no.This is no Cannibal Holocaust ,definitely NO Cannibal Ferox(both of which I regret watching.)A guy gets his leg tangled in vines and has to saw it off in huge amounts of resultant blood,we see flesh,muscle,bone and tendos. INCREDIBLY GRAPHIC.This was only to give you a brief description.It looks real worse out there on the screen,let me promise you.Stay 100 miles away from this if you can't handle gore.*regrets letting 10 year old brother watch.*Uhhh,by the way if anyone knows an unrated or uncut version of this coming out on DVD,please tell me.Gonna watch it with my dad just to see of there's any differences from the theatrical version.
