Sex & Nudity

None
16 of 28 found this to have none
Julie Adams appears in a famously revealing and sensual bathing suit.
It is implied that the Creature has a physical attraction to Kate.
Kate is at the center of a love triangle, with two male characters vying for her affection, for much of the film.
Men appear bare chested though out the film.
There are scenes of men wearing skimpy swimming trunks

Violence & Gore

Mild
17 of 25 found this mild
The creature attacks and kills two men in a tent. We see one man's face gripped in the creature's clawed hand. More thrashing and violence from outside of the tent..
A fistfight breaks out between two of the characters.
The creature kills about five people during the film..
Some very minor blood from the creature attacks. The creature has harpoons stuck in his torso and is also set on fire.

Profanity

None

Cigarettes and pipes.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Mild
17 of 27 found this mild
Various scenes of the creature reaching for someone (usually the girl) or suddenly appearing.
The Creature attack sequences can be intense, with startling music and loud, frightening sound effects.
A famous scene where Kate swims on the surface of the lagoon, while the Creature swims below her. The scene takes place in daylight, and is balletic in its staging, but can still be very suspenseful, with the Creature swimming directly beneath the unaware girl, occasionally reaching for her leg with its claws.
The creature may frighten some viewers.
