What Parents Need to Know

About Saving Shiloh

Parents need to know that a character throws a dog against a fence and threatens to beat it with a bat. The boys think they see two different dead bodies. Dara Lynn falls into a rushing river, and Marty goes in after her. Both kids, and little Shiloh, nearly drown. Escaped convicts chase after Marty and David, threatening to hurt them. Marty makes friends with a suspicious and dog-abusing old man.

    Not The Best

    This is the third to the shiloh movies and I have to say I was dissapointed with it. The story line is confusing, and the characters didn't do such a great job.You should rent the first 2 they are the best!! As for content there is NOTHING to worry about!
