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.

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.
