Our take
Ballerinas fight to escape a remote inn after a crash. Rated US R for strong bloody violence and language. Expect stylized slasher set pieces, warrior blood talk, smoking, gambling anxiety and a self-harm reference from glass. Horror-comedy tone keeps some distance, but gore and profanity are frequent.
Uplifting themes
Teamwork and courage among the dancers provide modest uplift
Story (may spoil tone)

Talk after watching
- Dancers use ballet skills as weapons. How does the movie play with strength and stereotypes?
- Horror-comedy mixes Nutcracker music with kills. When does style make violence easier to watch?
