Revenge parents guide

The thing to know: strong sex and nudity, and extreme gore, more than an R usually carries. Beyond that, a few tense moments and a jolt or two.

Scare
Mildly scary
A few tense or eerie moments.
Jump scares
A couple
One or two sudden jolts.
Gore
Extreme gore
Our top level for gore.
Violence
Brutal violence
Our top level for violence.
Sex and nudity
Strong
Strong means explicit or repeated sex, extended nudity, or sexual assault shown on screen, attempted or completed, even partly off screen. Any one of these is enough.
Language
Moderate
Some strong profanity, a few f-words.

Three questions

Is Revenge scary?
Only a little. Revenge has a few tense moments, nothing that follows you to bed.
How gory is Revenge?
Extreme gore and brutal violence. If graphic gore is a dealbreaker, skip it.
What is Revenge rated, and is it OK for kids?
No. It is rated R, with strong sex and nudity, brutal violence, and some strong language.

What is Revenge about?

Jen's romantic getaway with her wealthy married boyfriend is disrupted when his friends arrive for an impromptu hunting trip. Tension mounts at the house until the situation culminates in an unexpected way.

Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)

Bittersweet. It earns its ending, but not everyone gets what they want.
