The Blair Witch Project: parents' guide

Almost nothing violent happens on camera. A bundle left outside the tent holds bloody cloth wrapped around what look like teeth and a bit of flesh, locals describe gruesome killings tied to the legend, and the ending strongly implies the hikers are killed.

Constant. Plugged In counted nearly 200 f-words and s-words combined, plus "a--hole," "bulls--t," "piss," frequent misuse of Jesus' name and a middle-finger gesture.

No sexual content or nudity beyond one vague verbal reference to sex. A woman is seen from far away relieving herself in the woods.

Before the hike the three drink beer and Scotch and get drunk in their room. They smoke cigarettes until their supply is gone, and one asks if anyone has marijuana.

Sustained psychological terror: unexplained sounds around the tent at night, stick figures hanging from trees, a lost group unraveling, and a dark, chaotic finale in an abandoned house. The handheld camera can also cause motion sickness.
