Sex & Nudity

  • No nudity or sexuality is shown in this film. There is one scene in which a character describes a woman "picking up a drunken college boy for some sort of sexual encounter," and there is a brief back-and-forth about that topic, but the exchange is not graphic or profane.

Violence & Gore

  • A gory black and white photo of a man with his face (and possibly part of his skull) torn off is shown briefly.
  • A group of monsters attacks a group of people in the woods. No physical damage is done, but the humans' automobile is loudly banged up while they take refuge inside, and there's a lot of shaky out-of-focus camera work and screaming.

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The filmmakers are deeply entrenched in horror film culture, and this film reflects that. We see people and booths at horror conventions. Latex monster masks & appliances dominate the background throughout most interior shots. GWAR lead singer the late Dave Brockie is interviewed on-camera (in full Oderus Urungus costume and fully in character), and we also see characters such as the Toxic Avenger, etc.
  • Many disturbing drawings of fantastical monsters as well as possibly real (or very convincing-looking anyway) photographs of deformed human beings.
  • Several scenes in which people are in the dark woods waiting for "monsters" to arrive. There is significant nervous tension in these scenes.
  • There are a few monster jump scares in the darkness.
  • Some people are attacked by a group of very angry monsters. It's kind of intense, though all victims walk away unscathed, with only property damage having been incurred.
  • A man is kept in a cage and threatened into making a statement he obviously doesn't believe. The man is obviously completely terrified of his off-camera captor(s).
  • A man's house is quietly broken into by a hostile and possibly homicidal intruder in the middle of the night. We see the homeowners sleeping while the intruder creeps up near their bed (first-person POV). Pretty tense scene.
