VIOLENCE/GORE 8 - A man is seen rotting throughout the film; body parts fall off making squishy noises. A few minor explosions and a few scenes of people being chased and beaten up. A woman is almost hit by a car and is bitten by a cobra. A vampire is shown sucking people's necks (with some blood). A man eats a cockroach -- slowly. We see the corpses of many people with pale, bloody faces and slashed throats. A vampire causes a dog to fly many feet to its death into water; also he shoots and kills a lunging cat. A man's heart is pulled out of his chest and we see a close-up of it. A man is shot many times. A man kills another man but we only see body parts flying and hear squishy noises. A woman is found hanging and there is blood around her neck. Another woman is killed and we see blood and slashing. A vampire has a stake driven through his stomach, and then his heart. He eventually sort of melts.

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.
Moana 2 - 1.3.1
Gladiator II - 2.7.2
Wicked: Part I - 3.4.2
Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin. - 1.5.3
Emilia Pérez - 6.6.7
