Three questions

Is Silo scary?
Only a little. Silo has a few tense moments, nothing that follows you to bed.
How gory is Silo?
Light gore and strong violence.
What is Silo rated, and is it OK for kids?
Strong violence and some strong language. The TV-MA is earned, so not for kids.

What is Silo about?
