4/10

As a parody of bad horror/sci-fi films, everything is played for comic effect, though seeing people being killed may be disturbing to children. The laboratory scenes may also be frightening to children as they contain a mad scientist and a skeleton.

An idea of how accurate the TECE (TOTAL EXPLICIT CONTENT ESTIMATION) is: 5-10 is little-kid suitable, G-Rated type of film (i.e. Care Bears, Sleeping Beauty) // 10-15 is going to be a little harsher, but not by much (i.e. The Incredibles) // 15-20 could be pretty high up there (i.e. Indiana Jones) // 20-25 can be less kid-suitable (i.e. The Dark Knight) // 25-30 is going to be a film most likely not suitable for children (i.e. Mamma Mia!) // 30-40 is going to be a film meant for adults and NOT for children (i.e. Saving Private Ryan) // 40-50 are high in explicit content and only for mature audiences (i.e. Pink Flamingos, Cannibal Holocaust).

TECE: 23/50
