Suggested MPAA rating: R for bloody violence, grisly images, drug content and language

A teenage boy and a teenage girl make out in a car. They start to take off their cloths to have sex, but the girl start to get violent. The boy tells her to stop, but she pulls him down and starts to rape him.

Sexual references throughout the movie.

There is also a brief scene of a she-werewolf who has noticeable breasts.

A dead dog is shown. It has been torn apart and its limbs and intestines are everywhere. Lots of blood is also evident.

A girl is pushed down and she lands on the corpse of another dead dog. (intestines, severed limbs and blood are shown)

Two girls find a dead dog. They try to move it and its leg falls off.

A girl is dragged off-screen by a werewolf; we hear screaming. She then gets away (we see her covered in cuts) but the werewolf catches her again and graphically bites her. She eventually succeeds in escaping it. (We later see her and she is covered in blood and in pain, the wounds are shown up-close)

A werewolf is hit by a van. It is torn apart- blood and organs splatter everywhere and we see its mangled corpse.

A girl's belly button is graphically pierced. Not violent, but a big cringe moment.

A girl is shown vomiting a large amount of blood. It is implied that she killed and ate part of a dog.

A girl is shown trying to cut off her tail (weird, I know), blood is everywhere.

A girl throws another girl to the ground, then picks her up and holds her hand over the victim's mouth until the victim vomits. The attacker lets go of the victim and the victim threatens the attacker with a knife but then slips and hits her head on the edge of the counter. This kills her, a pool of blood surrounds her body.

That body is later placed in a freezer. Two girls try to take the body put of the freezer but accidentally hack to fingers off of the body (off-screen). The severed fingers are shown several times during the movie. (the body is later buried)

We see the corpse of a man, he has claw marks all over him. Blood is shown splattered all around the room.

An injured man crawls away from a girl, who then grabs him and smashes his head through some glass. She then shoves her hand into his stomach (off-screen) and we see it covered in blood.

A girl is locked in a bathroom, she claws at the door in attempt to escape (her hands as well as the door become covered in blood)

A boy is dragged off-screen by a werewolf. A huge trail of blood is shown, as well as his bloody body. The werewolf and a girl then drink some of the blood (the girl vomits it back up).

A girl stabs and kills a werewolf.

Quite a bit of cursing throughout the movie with concentration on the F-word.

Smoking scenes of both tobacco and marijuana.

One of the characters is a drug dealer.

Marijuana plants are shown a few times.

There are extremely intense scenes throughout the movie.

This movie, unlike most horror movies, has developed characters that you really get to know. This makes scenes where they are injured or killed much more disturbing and emotionally impacting. The ending is very sad.
