| nudity | This film would probably have a PG rating for Some frightening scenes that might not be suitable for a young audience. 1/10 A woman wears a dress revealing cleavage. |
| violence | 1/10 A dead coyote is shown with blood on it. Two men fight, punching each other. An alien in the form of a woman tries to shoot a man with a laser but he dodges and then shoots her making her fall through a large crevice into a body of water. This is not gory. |
| profanity | 0/10 None |
| alcohol | 1/10 Some smoking |
| frightening | 3/10 Throughout the film we see peoples terrified faces and some of them are screaming. We see people through the eyes of aliens as the aliens capture them and take their human form. A man is trying to talk to some of his friends but they are really aliens in the form of his friends. They walk off into a door in an alley and he follows them. When he opens the door all we can see are there silhouettes staring back at him. It could be frightening for a very young audience. |
