Parent Verdict

One of the scariest PG-13 films ever made — the red-faced demon jump scare and the Further sequences give adults nightmares, even with minimal blood or language. Teens often use its PG-13 label to argue for it; the rating undersells the terror. Better for 15 and up unless your teen is a seasoned horror viewer.
