VIOLENCE/GORE 8 - An unconscious man is shown on an operating table as a doctor uses a scalpel to cut away his scalp (we see the bloody incision and the bloody scalp being dropped into a bucket); the doctor uses a drill for another part of the procedure and we hear it whir, the patient's skull is then cut away and we see the exposed bloody brain and the skull piece is then dropped into the bucket.
► A man wanders on a neighborhood sidewalk lost and a car follows him; he becomes nervous and a person wearing a heavy metal mask attacks him and strangles him (possibly breaks his neck), drags him to the car and places him in the trunk. The antlers of a mounted head of a deer are jammed into a man's throat (blood gushes from the wound and out the man's mouth as he gurgles and falls to the floor dead). A young man shoots himself in the head and falls back onto the ground dead (we do not see splatter). A young man wrestles over a letter opener with a woman and he is stabbed through the hand (we see blood); he then stabs the woman presumably in the eye, off-screen (we hear a crunch). Two young men tussle and one holds the other around the neck until the second young man stabs the first in the leg (we see the item sticking out of the young man's leg), and he falls back and onto the floor, where he is kicked several times until we hear a crunch (off-screen). A young man shoots a young woman in the abdomen (we see a bloody hole in her blouse and blood splatters on her back as she falls to the ground).

A young man speeds in a car and hits a woman (we see her unconscious on the ground). A young man twirls a lacrosse stick near another young man threateningly and swings it at him (he misses); they struggle over the stick and the second young man falls flat on his back on the floor (he seems unconscious). A young man's nose bleeds and he screams frantically for another young man to, "Get out!" as they tussle before the screaming young man is taken away by others. A young man imagines sinking into a dark space and being unable to move in several scenes. A young man walks through a dark house alone at night; we see a woman move quickly in the background and a man runs full bore toward him and then diverts before running into him when he is outside.
► An animal darts across a road and a car hits it; the car swerves and stops and we see blood and matter on its headlight and its side mirror dangles off the side of the car; we hear the animal moaning in the woods and see a bloody abdominal wound.

CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
