I don't have kids so I might not be the best judge of it but I think it'd be fine for a 17 year old... not for a 14 year old though- I think it might be a bit much for that age. There's no nudity or sex, but there's a bit of brutality (in case that matters). 

Great movie, but I found it to be VERY intense.

Would this be suitable for 17 yr and 14 yr old girls? Just normal kids not hyper religious or anything. Also is there any nudity/sex as the wife still fast forwards non nudity sex scenes in Netflix shows even if only with the 17 yr old. 

I took my 15 and 12 year old daughters. They enjoyed it. They like horror movies, definitely wouldn't break someone in on this one. Definitely lots of intensity, including some non-sexual child abuse. 

I thought the movie was great, esp Ethan Hawke.

Caught this last night. It was all over the place in terms of tone and a lot of it just really did not mesh together. It kind of wanted to be a teenager saves the day kid genre similar to Stranger Things, but then also had some real violence and horror elements.

There were also some really, really stupid and/or cringy parts of the movie. The entire plot line with Daniel from LOST was horrendous.

Hawke was great as always, but also seemed like he was in a different movie from the other actors.

All of that said, I didn’t think about work for 2 hours on a Friday night, and for that I give it 5 stars.
