Sex & Nudity

  • Stereotypical pin ups of naked women are seen on a wall from a distance.
  • After the two urinate in a grassy field, when girl stands up and pulls up her pants, her black underwear can be seen briefly (no nudity).
  • There's some sexual innuendo: a remark about a strip-o-gram cop, and risqué translations of personalized license plates.

Violence & Gore

  • A creature is perched over a man's body eating; we hear slurping and loud swallowing, and the dead body jerks as it is torn, and we see half a bloody arm hit the floor.
  • A creature swings down grabbing a man; we see the victim's blood-splattered face and light shines through a large hole in his chest.
  • A creature cuts a person's head off, the head is seen, but the actual cutting off of the head is offscreen.
  • A creature picks up a severed head, and bites the tongue off. No blood, other than on the head's stump. We see a body with its eyes cut out and apparently the rest of the back of its head.
  • A creature crashes through a window and grabs a young man and woman by the throat; it sniffs them both in turn, and licks her face.
  • We see the back of a truck filled with sheet covered objects (presumably bodies) and a severed head is tossed in.
  • A woman is held off the ground by her neck by a creature (she's gasping for air) and then tossed on the floor.
  • A young woman panics and screams when a young man falls against her car window.
  • A police officer is pulled out of the car window by a creature standing on the roof.
  • A creature grabs a woman by the hair and bends her head back and sniffs her.
  • A young man has a bloody wound on his hand and gets hit in the crotch with a shotgun.
  • A man dumps two blood stained, sheet covered objects into a large pipe.
  • A young man and woman look into a large pipe and they remark about the stench.
  • A young man yells in terror and disbelief.
  • A young woman talks about a couple having been killed and a young man remarks that they never found her head.

Profanity

  • At least 11 "f" words, 12 "s" words, 1 slang term using male genitals ("d*ck licker"), 27 hells, 8 asses (2 used with "hole"), 4 damns, 3 S.O.B.s, 6 uses of "Goddamn," 4 of "Jesus," 2 each of "Christ" and "God" and 1 use each of "For Christ's sakes," "Jesus Christ," "Oh God," "Oh Jesus" and "Oh my God" as exclamations.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The serial killer type element is very disturbing.
  • There are a few jump-scare scenes.
  • The Creeper himself is very scary looking.
  • In two scenes, a truck speeds up and aggressively tail gates and honks very loudly and persistently, close to the car of two young people. This could be intense to younger viewers.
  • Though not that much gory violence is shown on screen, the serial killer themes and the first half of the film are very intense.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • Fully naked dead bodies are shown in one scene. Male privates are not shown but female full frontal nudity is briefly visible.
  • A young woman looks at a two-way mirror and a creature on the other side touches the glass and rubs its face along it to smell her.

Violence & Gore

  • Darry's eyeless corpse is shown at the end, tied up from the ceilings. Then The Creeper peeks through his empty eyes.
  • There are several shots of a demonic-looking creature in varying degrees of detail: it is shown with pointed rows of teeth and a demonic head, and it sprouts wings and a taloned webbing around its head. These features are creepy, but obviously not gory.
  • A creature screams, growls, sprouts talon-lined webbing around its head and large wings when threatened by a group of armed police officers. Creepy but not bloody or gory.
  • A young man discovers a blood stained, sheet covered object; it moves and grabs his leg and when he opens the sheet he finds a young man (tinged blue) with a huge sewn up scar down his chest and abdomen.
  • We focus on a dead young man and woman and see the woman with crude stitching around her neck and a large stitched scar on her abdomen. We then see a pile of sheet wrapped objects (presumably bodies), and we see many nude dead bodies stuck to the walls and ceiling of a cavernous place. Very disturbing and gruesome.
  • A car crashes into a creature knocking it to the ground and then backs over it, then forward, then back and we see the smoldering, crumbled remains of the creature; it sprouts a wing that then falls limp and the car runs over it again.
  • A woman fires a shot gun at a scarecrow No blood, obviously.
  • A young man slips down a pipe and lands hard on the ground, knocked unconscious for a few minutes. He has some blood on his head and a graphic cut on his hand.
  • A woman relates the tale of the creature and she explains that it eats what it needs to create itself (read body parts). This sort of creepy.
  • A creature is purposely run over by a car about eight times.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Darryl falls into a cave full of dead bodies.
  • A person has their heart ripped out, and is alive long enough to realize it
  • A young man gets trapped in a cave where dead bodies are pinned all along the walls and ceilings. He is surrounded by preserved bodies that have been brutally murdered by the Creeper.
