Why did it get this rating?

Horror

The film includes traditional horror features such as a masked villain, the idea of contagion, jump scares, and a creepy labyrinthine setting in which characters are chased. These factors combine to create a sense of threat.

Violence

The film has both horror-violence and less threatening action-violence. The horror violence includes a man’s throat being bitten and victims being bludgeoned with blunt objects. Sound effects, blood splatter and attack movements imply the infliction of serious physical harm but most of this injury takes place out of frame.

Offensive language

The film contains frequent offensive language that ranges from comic to aggressive in tone. This language is used to make insults, as intensifiers and to express distress. Words include ‘f**k’, ‘f**king’, ‘sh*t’ and ‘pussy’.

Cruelty

There are scenes of bullying. The ‘jock’ characters belittle the less popular teens, calling them reductive nicknames, and in one case throwing a slushy that ruins a character’s shirt.
