Definitely one you not only want to make sure the kids are in bed for, but that they're asleep before you start. The gruesomeness starts almost immediately in this one with a flashback to a guy getting chopped in half by a swinging pendulum blade, right about when the little ones would decide they want to go to the bathroom again or get a drink.

I was barely able to watch the 4th movie, this one was a little easier on the stomach though. Of course that's not to say there's a lack of gore in this movie.

If you haven't seen at least two of the previous four movies you're probably better off watching the series from the start before watching this one, there's a lot of flashbacks in this movie designed to fill in the pieces from previous sequels. I watched this with someone who hadn't seen the first ones and they were pretty much clueless throughout the whole movie.

Now that I've seen this one, I will probably get the whole set and watch one of them every night to see what I missed when watching them the first time.
