ASSIGNED NUMBERS |

Based on a Stephen King novel about Satan, who shows up in
a small Maine town and wreaks havoc by selling to every resident exactly what he or she
needs.
SEX/NUDITY 3 - There are two brief sex scenes with some kissing, while the
woman is shown in her underwear. Some cleavage, and a shot of a phallic objet d'art.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - Two women have a fight, with a knife and a cleaver. They
eventually fall off a roof and both die. A couple of punching and kicking fights, a number
of explosions, and several people are shot. A teenager attempts suicide by shooting
himself in the head, but nothing is shown. There is also a scene of the bloody, skeletal
remains of a skinned dog.
PROFANITY 5 - The F-word is used several times, as well as scatological
terms and anatomically explicit language. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Greed, striking bargains with Satan. The supernatural and
free will.
MESSAGE - If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

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. |
