Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • The camera follows Jenn's bare legs from behind as she walks through a house at night. She enters a bedroom and the camera tilts up to show her, in silhouette from behind, taking off her top. The camera tilts down to her ankles, where we see her panties drop. She steps out of them and slides under the blankets with Steve to seduce him. Nothing can be seen until Kate comes into the room and stops it. Jenn's bare breasts can be seen throughout the scene as she and Kate argue . NOTE: Steve is supposed to appear as Jenn's father, but we find later in the film that he is not. Therefore, it is not considered a form of incest.
  • Toward the end of the film when Steve is pulling the neighbor out of his pool, the neighbors' underwear is see through and you can see his genitals.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Towards the end of the film, Summer and Steve find Larrys body in the bottom of the pool. He had tied himself to a tractor and driven in sometime before the scene.
