Parent chat guide
For older teens, you could explore the philosophical questions the film raises about fate, free will, and how people respond to inevitable danger. Discuss whether the characters' actions seem reasonable given their circumstances. This can lead to conversations about problem-solving under pressure and supporting others during difficult times.
Address any fears the film might have triggered by emphasizing its fictional nature. Remind viewers that horror movies use specific techniques (music, editing, timing) to create scares, and discussing these techniques can help demystify the experience. If they found particular scenes disturbing, talk through why those moments affected them.
