'KNOCK AT THE CABIN'
Rated R for violence and language.
What it’s about: A home invasion horror thriller with an apocalyptic bent in which a group of fanatical strangers attempts to convince a family to sacrifice one of their own.
The kid attractor factor: This is a heavy thriller with dark themes — not much appeal for kids.
Good lessons/bad lessons: There is seemingly nothing stronger than belief and conviction.
Violence: Some extreme bloody violence including beating, fighting and shooting.
Language: Strong language throughout.
Sex: None
Drugs: None
Parents’ advisory: This is quite a dark and scary film with regard to human behavior and doomsday events. Not for kids but OK for teens.
'80 FOR BRADY'
Rated PG-13 for brief strong language, some drug content and some suggestive references.
What it’s about: Based on a true story, a group of octogenarian women who are also New England Patriots superfans make their way to the 2017 Super Bowl for a wild weekend.
The kid attractor factor: The silly humor might attract kids.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Friendships and memories are more important than anything.
Violence: Just football violence.
Language: Some swearing.
Sex: References to sex, a kissing scene.
