Based on 33 parent reviews

Parents say the film is a mixed bag for audiences, praised for its strong acting and storyline, especially appealing to fans of Stephen King and Stanley Kubrick, yet marred by extremely graphic violence, particularly against children, which many found disturbing and inappropriate. While some appreciated the depth of character development and overarching themes of redemption, others criticized the explicit scenes of child harm and the overall suitability for younger viewers.
