Spoilers

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

Sex & Nudity

  • The monster appears as a boy's mother and is shown with her bare breast hanging out of her robe. She is later seen violently humping his dead body and rubbing her crotch over him (she's wearing panties, but there's a prominent bulge).
  • The main character is standing in her bathroom, in her white bra and panties. While checking her pubic hair, she hears a loud thump at her window, she sees a red ball in her yard, turns away to her sink and drinks directly from the faucet. Then the camera turns to a preteen boy peeping at her from outside while she isn't looking.

Violence & Gore

  • A young girl is shown brutally murdered. We see her open-eyed corpse in the sand face up, with a leg broken inside out and twisted toward her head (both thighs are bloody and we see splintered bone emerging from the broken leg).
  • The film opens with a girl running away from "It." She runs away to the beach and then the scene cuts to the morning where one of her legs is twisted at the knee and the other has a foot missing. The scene contains some blood
  • A woman is seen dead with her leg twisted and a bone sticking out of it.
  • A young man is killed, though the death is primarily offscreen.
  • "It" is shot several times. We see blood spray across the wall.
  • "It" is shot in the pool near the end of the movie and the pool fills with blood.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A teenage boy is murdered by the central antagonist, while it takes the form of his mother. "It" is then seen moving in an aggressively sexual way on the boy's body. This scene is very intense and is built up over the course of a few minutes as the protagonist desperately tries to prevent it. The actual death is very brief and is only onscreen for a few seconds, but it can still potentially be extremely disturbing for some viewers.
  • "It" takes the shape of several people throughout the film, some appear more disturbing than others.
