Profanity

  • Some mild and moderate profanity. One use of the word "Fuck" "The fuckin' forecast is wrong!"

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Many overt references to alcoholism and addiction throughout
  • A big theme in the movie is Jack wrestling with his past as an alcoholic. Therefore there are plenty of references made about this. We also hear and see his violent tendencies when he's drunk.
  • In a flashback,we see that Jack has been drinking a bottle of hard liquor.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Much of the movie is very intense,very suspenseful and somewhat sort of scary,but definitely not as scary as the original one is for sure. Most of the horror in the film is really funny for the most part,especially with how cheesy it is,with how it was made too & most of the horror is done with computer generated imagery effects & that also looks very cheesy too for sure.
  • We hear disembodied voices.
