ASSIGNED NUMBERS |
|
|
Unlike the MPAA we do not assign one inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest, depending on quantity and context. |

After a mother and son discover their neighbor's corpse, a
poltergeist shows up and attempts to destroy their lives. With Ally Sheedy, Costas
Mandylor and Vincent Hanlon. [1:31]
SEX/NUDITY 1 - In one scene, a man in a robe and a fully clothed woman kiss.
A woman wears some cleavage-revealing tops.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - A man falls through a glass door and dies (we see his
bloody body lying on the ground). A woman falls from a ledge (it's implied that she dies)
and a woman is hit by an electrical bolt (we see a small bloody circle on her forehead as
she falls to the ground). A man clutches his chest and apparently has a heart attack. It's
implied that a dog has eaten part of a corpse (we only see some blood on the corpse's
shirtsleeve). Several scenes of paranormal activity and property damage: books fly off
shelves (one hits a boy in the head), a basketball bounces around a room and destroys most
of its contents, papers ignite, knives fly through the air and nearly hit a woman's head
and a refrigerator pushes a woman against a wall (we later see her with a bruised face). A
woman is nearly smashed in a door that repeatedly opens and closes. We see a dog barking
and growling at people a few times throughout the movie; and a dog chases after two boys
and nearly attacks one of them. Lightning strikes a house; we see lots of sparks and part
of the roof caves in, nearly hitting people. A man loses control of his car and flips it;
we later see him lying in a hospital bed with bloody cuts on his face and bandages on his
arms.
PROFANITY 3 - Lots of mild obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Paranormal activities and poltergeists, infidelity, marital
problems and divorce, therapy.
MESSAGE - If you love your family, you'll sacrifice anything to ensure their
happiness.

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. |
