Parent Verdict
The iconic opening — Drew Barrymore stalked by phone and gutted, with her body hung from a tree — sets the tone: graphic stabbings played with dark wit. Teens are the targets and the killers, plus there's a teen sex scene and party drinking. The self-aware humor doesn't soften it below 16.
