What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this rough thriller is chock full of sex and violence and is definitely not for kids. The title itself refers to a violent sex act, and lots of sex is shown (as well as full-frontal nudity). There's also extensive drug use and extremely gory violence. While the movie does make the initial fun-in-the-vacation-sun scenes seem appealing (if excessive), its tone shifts dramatically as events spin out-of-control and get worse. At best, it could be seen as an extraordinary cautionary tale with a lesson about thedangers of not talking about sex in a realistic, respectful manner.

- Talk about the importance of discussing sexhonestly and realistically. What happens when rumors and myths about atopic as big as that get out of control?
- Discuss the appeal of violent, sex-filled thrillers like this one --where does the line fall between cautionary tale and exploitation? Cana film that points out the dangers of promiscuous sex and drugs stillglamorize them?
