This is an R-Rated movie with plenty of blood and violence, and is not suited for children nor people who are horrified by gore.

Profanity

10/10

Fuck is used 25 times. Shit is used twice. Dick is used once.

7/10

There is some smoking and drinking, mostly during the club scenes.

The main antagonist smokes frequently.

The main character injects himself a serum, which is seen and nominated several times.

Some vampires seem to be high.

9/10

This is definitely an adult only movie, not aimed at young or sensitive people, especially those who cannot stand blood and gore.

This movie is focused on vampires, which are supernatural, bloodthirsty creatures that might scare some people.

Some moments are disturbing and intense, such as the sacrifice + skeletons scene, and the head/body explosions scenes.

The violence, even if often over the top, is very frequent and graphic.

Total Explicit Rating: 42/50 (not aimed at children in any way because of its massive violence)
