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.
A horrible beast kills people trapped in a museum.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - Sexual innuendo (with a graphic reference to oral sex).
VIOLENCE/GORE 8 - The monster kills a lot of people throughout film (which
we get to see) and there's lots of blood, decapitated heads and one man is bitten off at
the waist. There are other scenes of blood and gore, especially one showing rotting human
body parts (head, torn up body, etc.). We see the corpse of a man in a bathroom, with lots
of blood on the walls and floor; his body is ripped and his head cut off (his brain has
been pulled out of his head). A dismembered body is seen during an autopsy (and the
pathologist puts her hand in the now empty skull). A huge insect is killed and it becomes
lots of green goo. A dead, bloody dog is thrown at a group of people. We see many
skeletons, bodies and human heads (with blood) in the monster's home. Blood drips onto a
woman, a headless body falls and is impaled on a spike, a woman bleeds when people push
against her as she's stuck in a revolving door. When a man touches another the man's head
almost falls off. A man is shot and killed and people shoot at the monster in some scenes.
Many chases and many scary noises.

PROFANITY 7 - About 10 F-words, many scatological references, many mild
obscenities, a few anatomical references. [profanity glossary]
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.
