# Friday the 13th - Parental Guide This R-rated horror film features graphic violence, strong language, and moderate sexual content as an unknown killer stalks camp counselors. The intense gore and jump scares are designed to frighten adults and are not appropriate for children. Only consider this for mature teens who can handle sustained, graphic violence.
