# Friday the 13th Parental Guide This R-rated horror film features graphic violence, strong language, and moderate sexual content as young adults are stalked by a masked killer at an abandoned campsite. The intense, bloody scenes and jump scares make it unsuitable for most children and young teens. It's best reserved for mature audiences who enjoy horror films.
