A man tells another man a sexual joke in a different language. (The only way to hear this joke is by turning on subtitles.)

A female character transforms and her clothes tear off, but the image is out of focus so no details can be seen.

A man's arm rips off and becomes a crawling insect-like alien (blood and tissue are seen from the raw side of the arm) and the man falls over; tentacles grow from the disembodied arm, it runs across a room and attacks another man's face, the man screams in pain and struggles to pull the alien from his face, and the alien chews and absorbs the man's face (blood bubbles from the man's eyes and nose and he slumps against a wall).

We see a woman transform, and her body stretches and morphs into an insect-like alien with multiple legs and tentacles coming from her chest, which rips open; her human face is still completely preserved and we see a look of pain on her face as bloody, gory tentacles whip around from her chest. She then attacks a man; her tentacles enter the man's chest (we see blood spray). The tentacles pulse with blood and the man screams and whimpers as several men and a woman watch in horror.

A man's face rips open as he morphs into a giant alien: tentacles rip through his chest and the bones of arms and legs appear to rip apart and transform into multi-segmented legs (blood and gore spray from the man's chest and face as he appears to rip into multiple pieces) and tentacles burst from his body.

An alien that morphed from the body of a man attacks another man, the man's disfigured arms and legs (tissue and blood and gore come from the man's arms and legs that have changed into segmented insect legs) attack the man (the man's face is still visible on the top of the alien body), the alien smashes its face against the other man's face (we see the tissue stretch and bond the two faces together as the man screams in pain), and the bodies of the man/alien and man morph together and we hear the breaking of bone and tearing of tissue as the alien drags the man away.

A woman uses a flamethrower to set a dead man with an alien attached to his face on fire and the alien screams a high-pitch scream as the man's body crackles and twists in the fire.

A man holds the open neck wound of another man, blood gurgles over the man's hands and the injured man struggles to breath; the man walks away from the injured man and a woman sets the man on fire using a flamethrower.

An alien with a visible male human face punches a woman, slamming her to the ground, the woman crawls across the ground to escape (we see the alien's segmented insect legs with blood and tissue visible), the alien dives after the woman, she escapes into some ductwork, and the tentacles of the alien grab the woman and drag her into its gaping mouth (large teeth are visible); the woman throws a grenade into the mouth of the alien and she and a man narrowly escape as the grenade explodes into a massive fireball.

An alien that had formed from two men morphing together, their limbs becoming segmented bloody, tissue-exposed insect legs, lunges toward a woman; the woman uses a flamethrower to set the alien on fire, it screams and breaks through a wall, it struggles to stand on snow outside, the woman douses the alien with flames again, and it screams and crackles under the flames.

An alien shoots a tentacle through the chest of one man as another man watches (blood sprays from the wound, covering the other man's face); the alien drags the man under a building and we see blood pouring from the wound on his chest, we hear the sound of crunching bone and tearing tissue and the man's feet are sticking out of the large mouth opening of the alien.

A man uses a large axe to chop an alien in half: it screams and we see blood spray from the two parts, the two parts walk toward each other (tissue and veins go from one half to the other, stitching the bloody tissue back together) and a woman uses a flamethrower to set the alien on fire.

Fuck and shit are used often alongside lesser profanities.

Alcohol and tobacco use.

The various forms the thing takes can be disturbing due to the body horror/uncanny valley they display.
