Sex & Nudity

  • Teenagers flirt and make sexual comments a few times early in the movie.
  • A teenage girl admits to being a virgin and asks her neighbor who is like an aunt to her about what it's like to have sex. The conversation is not explicit and has a parental advice theme behind it.
  • A man and a monstrous woman have sex several times in the movie but no graphic nudity is shown. However the woman's bare breasts are visible in those scenes.
  • A teenage girl gets her period in class and leaves when this begins. Blood is shown around her desk.
  • Felice performs a voodoo ritual nude at one point in the movie and her nipples in particular are seen for a moment.

Violence & Gore

  • Several people in the film die but almost none of the death scenes are graphic (this applies to the R-rated version)
  • The main character's mother dies in a violent car accident, and the death is onscreen, and graphic
  • A young boy is attacked by a small creature which claws his face several times
  • A young girl is choked by her necklace when it gets caught in the stairs of a mall escalator- we see blood but no graphic wounds
  • A man is scratched on the chest by a demonic cat
  • A man spontaneously bursts into flames after his hand starts to smoke and rip open
  • A young boy is killed in the road by a truck
  • A man's arm is snapped and broken by a woman
  • A young child is killed by a monstrous woman
  • A monstrous woman is hit with a rake, shot with a gun, and impaled on the blade of a hedge-trimmer

Profanity

  • Some strong and mild obscenities are spoken, but only during intense moments.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • The father has a drinking problem, which worsens after his wife dies. He is shown drinking beer during several scenes.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The scene of the mother's death early in the movie is sudden and could be a startling moment.
  • The nature of the scene involving the main character's friend getting her necklace caught in a moving escalator and being choked is a very intense moment. The scene would definitely frighten children in particular.
  • The scene with the cat jumping out of the cupboard is a jump-scare moment.
  • A young girl in school sees a diagram of the human body coming to life in a slightly gross scene
