Sex & Nudity

In a dream sequence- a man is shown running along a sidewalk completely nude showing full frontal.

A woman is shown topless laying in bed for a good few minutes.

A man and a woman make out a couple of times. The second time he cups her breast over her shirt for a couple seconds as he's laying on top of her on a bed.

A woman is seen dressed in a somewhat scandalous fashion. She walks around with an open blouse with what looks like a fashioned bikini top on, as well as a high slit skirt. She is seen getting undressed into panties and as she takes her top off, she walks into the bathroom. Nothing is shown. She then comes out with just a long thin t-shirt on, and is seen taking off her panties under the long shirt. Again-nothing is shown. The monster is then seen caressing her body for a brief moment.

The 'monster' is seen in his basket holding her panties.

Violence & Gore

The violence and gore is in a theatrical sense-done more comedically than anything.

The monster kills people by way of clawing them to death. There is blood shown, but mostly in a comedic sense. Gash marks are seen as well.

The 'monster' is cut away from his siamese twin in an operation. Flesh is heard being torn, and blood squirts everywhere.

A man is implied to be cut in half by a saw. We see a shot from his knees down, and his legs fall outward to the floor; away from each other

A woman is shown with numerous scalpels sticking out of her face all bloodied up and screaming in a comedic fashion.

Profanity

A couple 's' words, some 'd' words, and some 'g-d's'.

As the main character is walking along the sidewalk, a man approaches him to sell drugs. He names off any kind of drug you can imagine but no drugs are shown

The monster may be frightening to younger audiences. Some of the violence (though being played out for comedic effect is quite graphic and blood is shown on several occasions) could disturb some younger audiences or the faint hearted.
