VIOLENCE/GORE 9 - A deer is hit and a car crashes leaving the deer and human car passengers a bit bloody. A woman kills the deer by twisting its neck; and the car explodes. A woman has a bloody gash on her head. In a dream a woman slices open another's throat. A man is stabbed as he hangs, a couple of stabbings in necks, and a few other stabbings. Many people are shot at and there's blood (sometimes blood spurts from their wounds, machine gun fire is often used); many are killed. A drowned corpse, torture by repeatedly putting someone underwater, a stabbing in the eye with some blood, people are beaten up sometimes with blood (mainly on the face). A woman breaks a few men's necks. Threatening with guns and knives, some fighting scenes with punching, kicking, etc.. Grenades explode with resultant property damage. Chases, falls, a man is run over by a car. Reckless driving, a child is kidnapped, a man on fire.

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
