ASSIGNED NUMBERS |

Something comes back from space and humans must study it in
this science fiction thriller.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - A woman's bare breasts are shown a few times. A woman is seen
in a wet shirt and the outline of her breasts/nipples are visible. Men and women are seen
in underwear. Sexual innuendo.
VIOLENCE/GORE 9 - A body is shown with blood on it (mainly on the face).
Blood and membrane is shown on windows, walls and consoles. A rotting body without eyes is
seen, a corpse shatters into bloody pieces, and a burning, bloody person is shown walking
around. A man explodes, with veins popping out and a great deal blood spurting from his
face and mouth. A man holds two bloody eyes in his hands, a man pulls his own eyes out
(blood is streaming down), a woman with empty eye sockets is seen many times and a child
has open wounds and sores on his legs. A woman slits her wrists and she floats in bloody
water. A man grabs another and throws him around, then stabs him and blood spews from the
man's mouth. A man cuts another man in half and pins the top part of the body to the
ceiling; we see the intestines in the bottom part. A fistfight in a pool of blood.
Flashbacks (a few times) of what looks like torture: people tied down, threatened with
knives, etc. Some explosions. Scuffles and shoving.
PROFANITY 7- About 27 F-words, a profane hand gesture, many scatological
references, some mild obscenities, an anatomical reference. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Outer space, aliens, the subconscious, hallucinations.
MESSAGE - We don't know everything about what's out there.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
