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.
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

Some nudity, although nothing explicit. A man's buttocks are shown; In the same scene, there is a reflection of the man's front, but his genitals are obscured (you see nothing where they would be). A woman is naked, but you only see her from the neck up. The breasts and face of hippie woman is shown as a snapshot as the scientists are walking through Piedmont. The boyfriend is out of focus and obscured.

Violence & Gore

Some minorly disturbing scenes of the aftermath of deaths. They are mostly bloodless and goreless. A dead man's wrist is cut open; his clotted, powdery blood pours out.

Profanity

Very little minor language.

Some people smoke. There is some drinking at a party (nothing over-the-top). It is typical for the time period of the movie.

Some people may find the sequences showing dead people unnerving and disturbing, and some, especially children, may find the laboratory animal death scenes disturbing.
