Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.

Sex & Nudity

Sex & Nudity: 4/10

A man and a woman follow each other into the bedroom kissing and take their sweaters off (it is is implied they are going to take their clothes off and have sex), but then are interrupted by a noise.

A woman is shown in a shower, it's obvious she's naked but it's too blurry.

A man is shown in his underwear.

A boy is seen in his underwear at night.

Violence & Gore

Violence & Gore: 7/10

A man shoots another man, then commits suicide by shooting himself (the suicide is shown off screen). No blood is shown.

During the first encounter with Cole, Malcom notices scratches on Cole's arm (The cuts are nothing intense).

Cole notes that a school was used for hanging people before becoming a school.

A boy is locked in a closet, we hear him aggressively screaming and kicking to get out. When the boys mother opens the door, heis passed out.

Cole tells Malcom that he sees dead people.

A ghost shows Cole her slit wrists with blood all over them.

We see three bloodied hanging corpses from the celing.

A boy ghost turns around to reveal a hole in the back of his head.

A young girl ghost is seen vomiting.

We see on a video that a mother poisons the female vomiting ghost daily to keep her sick.

A woman is seen burned on one half of her body.

We see a woman standing outside a car door with blood all over her face.

The man getting shot is shown again, except this time, his wife rolls him over and we see a large pool of blood underneath him. It is then revealed that he died as a result of this.

Profanity

Profanity: 4/10

One written F-word, a couple of anatomical and scatological references, a few mild obscenities and some name-calling. One use of the word bullsh*t. Someone gets referred to as "cheese d*ck".

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: 2/10

Anna gets some wine from the basement and we then see that both she and Malcolm appear somewhat tipsy.

Frightening/Intense Scenes: 8/10

A person or their shadow briefly passes by the camera and into the bathroom. Malcolm then slowly walks over there and discovers a former patient, now grown up, who's broken into their home, acting rather unbalanced and more than a bit creepy (the scene is a minute or so long and quite unnerving). That man then shoots Malcolm and then commits suicide (off camera).

A young boy is locked into a small dark cabinet by two other boys. This part is very intense and cruel.

A female ghost vomits violently.

Three people are shown hanging by the neck.

A female ghost bicycle rider is shown bloody.

A woman leaves a room for a minute while her son eats breakfast and when she returns all the draws and cupboards are open. This may make some people jump.

Very disturbing images are shown.

A boy talks to his mother about how he sees ghosts and the scene is very emotionally intense.

The temperature is shown to drop when a ghost is present.

The entire plot is based on a young child seeing dead people and it is frightning/intense throughout.

(The Incredibles). 10-20: Suitable for children 8 years and over (Gremlins). 20-25: Recommended for mature audiences (THIS). 25-30: Suitable for children over 13 (The Dark Knight). 30-40: Recommended for people 17 years and over (Saving Private Ryan). 40-50: Absolutely Adults Only (Cannibal Holocaust).
