Mike, a youthful adolescent kid who has quite recently lost his folks, reluctant to lose his sibling tail him to a memorial service, where Mike witnesses the Tall Man lifting a pine box all alone. Mike chooses to explore, and finds that the Tall Man, ensured by his flying circles, is contracting dead bodies down to a large portion of their typical size and vivifying them as slaves. It is then up to Mike, his sibling, and Reggie the frozen yogurt man to stop the Tall man.
| nudity | Two sex scenes 2 characters have sex. The lady grinds and you see one breast in closeup while the woman's hand is over the other. Later 2 characters make out, fondle each other and preparing to have sex. A pair of breasts are focused on and fill the screen for roughly 5 seconds. The couple is interrupted before the deed is done. |
| violence | A man is stabbed. An arm is bitten blood flows from the wound A man has his head literally drilled into by a lethal flying sphere. (Rather fake) looking blood flies and gushes out of the sphere, squirting everywhere - almost comedic nowadays but is also played for laughs A teenager is manhandled by a man with unnatural strength. A rather fake looking large fly attacks a boy but still manages to be an effective scene A boy cuts off a mans fingers which ooze yellow blood. (rubbery looking) A car crash A boy blows a hole in his bedroom door. A dwarf is impaled by a branch, yellow blood is seen oozing out of it's mouth |
| profanity | Occasional light swear words 'bastard' 'son of a bitch'. At least 1 "fuck" and "shit". Reference to a "retarded kid" |
| alcohol | A man drinks beer at a bar A boy takes a gulp of beer |
| frightening | A teenager is terrified when he cannot remove his hand from a box. The idea of the death of a loved one, and the theme of death and funeral homes may be disturbing to some. The movie is both played for laughs and scares The Tall Man is very menacing and will no doubt creep out or even scare viewers Although dated, the movie is very intense and graphic in some scenes. The violence looks fake but it makes for some memorable scenes that linger in you mind for a very long time. Many intense scenes such as a car chase, two (intense and creepy) chase scenes between a boy and The Tall Man The ending scene is very surprising and may scare viewers This movie is very dated now, so just because of the sex scenes 14 + Suggested MPAA Rating: for bloody images, some sexuality, brief nudity, and some language |
