Sex & Nudity
Violence & Gore
Profanity
1 to 10

MPAA Rating: R

John Lithgow is a mild-mannered child psychologist who just happened to be the subject of numerous demented scientific experiments as a child, all of which were performed by his father. His wife's adultery renders him seriously loopy.

SEX/NUDITY 3 - One outdoor sex scene, complete with moans and groans. But no nudity is ever visible.

VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - Lithgow's deranged personality kills a mother (by suffocation) and a babysitter (not seen) and attempts to harm a couple of others. Lithgow's wife slashes his wrists; little blood is shown.
