Blair Witch

Gory wounds; a woman removes an object from a bloody leg wound. Character is snapped in half. A man attacks a woman, drags her, and drops her in a pit. Very scary stuff, largely audio, and unseen/barely seen images. Very claustrophobic scene (crawling through tunnel in dirt). Brief footage from a first-person-shooter video game.

Brief, joking reference to oral sex while a woman eats a hot dog.

Multiple uses of "f--k" and "s--t," plus "a--hole," "hell," "piss," "goddamn," "oh my God."

Very brief, joking reference ("What are they smoking"? "Bath salts.").

Parents need to know that Blair Witch is the third movie in the successful Blair Witch horror series, following the original, groundbreaking The Blair Witch Project and the rushed, badly made sequel Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2. Expect some intensely scary scenes that focus mainly on sounds and unseen/barely seen images, as well as a generally spooky atmosphere. There's also some blood and gore, like when a character removes a gross foreign object from a leg wound and when another character is snapped in half. In another scene, a man attacks a woman and drags her body into a pit. Language includes many uses of "f--k," "s--t," and more. There's a brief, joking reference to oral sex. Although the movie is far from perfect, with shallow characters and a laughable set-up, as the finale approaches, it's genuinely chilling, and teen horror hounds will likely be eager to see it.
