Sex & Nudity

  • A teenage boy looks at a Penthouse magazine. There's two women in it. One woman is wearing a fishnet blouse, with a tan colored bra. As he turns the pages, there's a second woman with her breasts exposed in a pool.
  • Inside the Penthouse magazine you are able to clearly see a blonde woman naked in a swimming pool. Both breast are exposed. She is NOT covering them with her arm.

Violence & Gore

  • In a vision, people are jostled about by turbulence in a plane and then struck by flying articles inside it. As the plane is then torn apart, various characters are injured and/or sucked from the plane and a huge fireball then races through the fuselage, finally engulfing and burning one character.
  • We see a corpse in a funeral home with thin, bloody cuts on its neck and a tube filled with blood sticking out of the side of its neck; someone removes the tube and we hear a squirting sound and see, in closeup, a little blood spurting from the hole.
  • A "teen" boy gets knocked off his bike; he avoids being hit by a car.
  • A "teenage" boy comes after another and punches him, and the two are then escorted off the plane (where he still tries to come after him). The kid then rushes him and tackles him to the floor until the two are separated.
  • A plane explodes (seen from a distance), causing windows in the terminal to shatter and killing everyone (several hundred people) on board (not seen).
  • A shard of glass flies into a person's throat and when it's pulled out we see lots of blood on the person's neck, hand and clothes and blood dripping on the floor; later, a knife falls into the person's chest and is driven deeper when a chair falls onto the handle (at this point the person is almost completely covered in blood).
  • A large chain flies through the air and lops off most of a person's head; we see the head fall and roll on the ground, then see the body fall to the ground (the bloody neck stump is visible).
  • A young woman is hit by a speeding bus on accident, causing blood to splatter in front of several people standing nearby (mildly gruesome)
  • Someone grabs a live power line and briefly gets electrocuted (we see the unconscious person lying on the ground with charred hands)
  • Someone is hit by a marquee (the screen turns black before we see the impact); and a person is knocked face-first into mud when hit by a falling tree and nearly suffocates.
  • Some shoves, a punch, a boy elbows another in the mouth (a little blood is visible), a girl slaps a boy's arm several times and boys tackle each other.
  • Fire spreads through a house and we later see it explode; and a car catches on fire with someone inside, but the person escapes before the car explodes.
  • A driver speeds into oncoming traffic and also removes his hands from the steering wheel (the car is nearly hit by many other cars and a truck); also, a speeding train runs into a car (no one is inside).
  • In several different scenes a person is nearly hit by a bus, a train, a car, a marquis, a pole, a tree stump and a power line.
  • Someone pulls a bloody knife out of a blood-soaked person's chest.
  • A boy gets a small, bloody cut on his neck while shaving.
  • Non-stop graphic bloodshed, and deadly freak accidents. This is the most graphic movie in the franchise and was originally hard R (UK-equivalent 18), a moderate R (UK-equivalent 15) only on appeal.
  • Level of violence:10/10.
  • Cinemax content advisory: rated R for violence (V), graphic language (GL), and adult content (AC).
  • A character slips in the bathroom and ends up with a shower cord wrapped around their neck. As they struggle to get free, the cord slowly strangles them until they're dead (we see the person struggling for a while and see the eyes bulging and getting extremely bloodshot).

Profanity

  • One guy says to another guy in reference to two girls they like "Did you think we were gonna titty fuck them".
  • 47 "f" words, 13 "s" words, 2 slang terms using male genitals ("d*ck"), 3 damns, 2 asses, 1 hell, and 1 use of "G-damn."

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A woman pours herself a glass of vodka.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The overriding notion of Death coming after these students may be unnerving, suspenseful or downright frightening to some viewers, as might scenes listed under "Violence" as well as "Blood/Gore."
  • Some old drawings/paintings that briefly appear during the opening credits show unhappy/scared people apparently facing death (that may be unsettling to some viewers).
  • For those with a fear or apprehension of flying, Alex's realistic-looking vision of an airliner experiencing progressively worse problems (turbulence, then greater turbulence followed by fire and people being sucked from the plane in a several minute sequence that ends with fire engulfing his face) and then the later sight of the "real" thing exploding after take off, may be rather unsettling/disturbing.
  • The scariest movie of the series.
  • Two people break into a funeral home to see a deceased teen boy who is lying on the table with shallow cuts on his neck and a suction hose coming out of his shoulder. The body suddenly jerks, causing them to jump. This may frighten some viewers.
  • The deaths may be intense for some viewers.

Violence & Gore

  • A teen boy grabs live wires to prevent a car (with a teen girl inside) from catching fire. He is electrocuted but survives.
  • Violent accident throughout.
  • A shard of glass flies into a woman's neck and when it's pulled out, blood is on her neck, hand, and clothes; the blood drips onto the floor. A knife then falls into the woman's chest and is driven deeper when a chair falls onto the handle.
  • A piece of metal flies through the air and cuts off most of a teen boy's head; the head falls and rolls on the ground, the body then falls to the ground.
  • A teen girl is hit by a speeding bus, causing blood to splatter on several people standing nearby.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A teen boy drives recklessly and stops on some train tracks. The signals go off and a train approaches. Three teenagers in the car with the teen boy get out, but the teen boy stays in the car. Another teen boy convinces him to get out. He unsuccessfully tries to back out, then tries to get out, but the door is jammed. The teen boy is pulled out of the car before a train plows into it. This may be intense for some viewers.
