A Daughter's Nightmare

Violence is mostly implied and unseen: People get sick and weak rather than being stabbed or shot. But because parental figures are both victim and villain in this drama, the violence may be particularly upsetting.

Sex is implied by a woman being naked in bed. A woman and man rather coyly discuss his undressing her when she was passed out. He claims to have been a "perfect gentleman," but since he turns out to be a creep, the implication is disturbing.

One "hell" and "crap." A man is called a "geek."

Many scenes involve wine and drinking. A man passes off adulterating his lady friend's drink as her drinking too much. Characters are drugged and experience terrible symptoms.

Parents need to know that A Daughter's Nightmare is a TV movie about a mother/daughter pair who are menaced by a man who at first pretends to be friendly. Viewers will see characters suddenly and traumatically die; another character is choked and almost dies. A dead body is shown onscreen, but there is no blood or gore. Parents are in danger and are killed, teen children are terrified and feel responsible. Many scenes feature characters drinking. No one drinks enough to get drunk, but the villain of the piece drugs characters and passes off the effects as the aftermath of drinking. Young viewers may find the violence and menace extra upsetting because it occurs in a realistic family setting, with young people intimately affected.
