Parents Guide for
War of the Worlds (2005)

None.

Many Sci-Fi sequences of terror, and of people being abducted and/or zapped with huge lasers. Also, a man's blood is sucked out of his body by a huge needle, but it happens hidden by a truck.

Tom Cruise's character kills a man who has gone insane. It's not shown, because he closes the door. But you can hear it behind the door.

Generally mild, with a few words like Hell, G*d d*mn, etc.

Maybe the occasional cigarette, but nothing big.

MANY intense, frightening, disturbing scenes throughout, including the kinds of scenes where its all quiet and then suddently... BAM! a guy gets killed with a giant martian laser beam. Not for little kids!

You see a bunch of dead people floating down a river, it's really creepy.

The aliens are pretty scary.

The whole movie in general is pretty intense.

There are many people panicking and children crying which adds more to the already intense setting.
