The Evil Dead: parents' guide

Frequent graphic gore: a woman is dismembered with an axe, pencils and a dagger are driven into bodies, eyes are gouged, a head is cut off with a shovel, and corpses melt. Sexual violence: possessed vines rape a woman, and a headless corpse writhes on top of the hero.

Very little: hell and bastards, plus a few exclamations. Most of the noise is screaming and demonic cackling rather than swearing.

Two young couples kiss and flirt, and one comes close to having sex. Brief partial nudity, mostly when the vines strip a woman during the assault described under violence.

The friends swig from a jar while driving, drink wine at dinner and pass around what appears to be a joint. Brief, but drug use is shown.

Sustained, shrieking terror: possessed friends with white eyes cackle and taunt, the woods themselves attack, the cellar hides horrors, and a racing camera stands in for an unseen evil. Disturbing images throughout.
