Violence & Gore

  • Dozens of vampires are killed in various gruesome ways, with lots of black blood, lots of gore of all kinds, and many decapitations.
  • A vampire's head is cut off but he remains alive and places his head back on his body. Has to hold it in place for an extended period of time while he waits for the neck to repair itself. While riding in a car, car hits a bump and his head flops loose. All meant to be comedic. Some graphic black blood and gore around the neck are clearly visible throughout these scenes.
  • Non-stop extremely graphic violence (with comic undertones), though nearly all of the gruesome violence and deaths happen to the vampires. Most human victims are heard offscreen or shown after the attack.
  • Quite a number of vampire heads are sliced off with machetes, a TV, and a zip line. Blood spray, blood is black.
  • A number of severed vampire heads are shown and interacted with.
  • A human body is seen with its head missing. Bone and blood. Very gory.
  • A vampire tears a chunk of skin off a man's neck. Gory patch of ripped skin shown, not much blood spill from the wound can be seen as the man wraps the neck with a cloth.
  • A man smashes a TV over a vampire's head and then kicks the TV causing the TV to chop of the vampire's head, head goes flying with lots of black blood spray.

  • A vampire rips off another vampire's arm and beats him over the head with it.
