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 group of weird children are born into a small town and
cause a whole lot of mayhem. With Christopher Reeve and Kirstie Alley.
SEX/NUDITY 1 - A couple kisses, and a man is shown in briefs.
VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - Two truck explosions. A charred corpse is briefly shown.
People have eerie nightmares. During a birth a doctor is shown with bloodied gloves. A
woman puts her arm into scalding water. A man falls off a roof through a car window and is
impaled on a broom handle: we see blood on his face. Two people shoot themselves; a group
of cops also shoot themselves and we see bodies jerking and some blood. A woman goes up in
flames and we see her charred corpse a couple times. A woman cuts her own abdomen and
pulls the knife upward: After the first cut we see only her sobbing face, but we hear
cutting, squishy noises in the background. A deformed baby corpse is seen a couple of
times.
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.
