Sex & Nudity

Mild
59 of 123 found this mild
One sex scene in the unrated extended cut with breast nudity. No scene in the regular cut.
A man and a woman (she's a vampire) kiss.
We see the outline of breasts in the charred remains of a female vampire.
Women wear low-cut tops that reveal cleavage in many scenes.
A woman wears a skintight leather suit that accentuates her figure, throughout the movie.

Violence & Gore

Severe
39 of 52 found this severe
Strong violence and gore.
A decayed corpse lies in a coffin.
A vampire bites her own wrist, the blood fills a chamber and drips into the corpse's mouth, we see the blood traveling through the corpse's tissue and organs, the heart begins beating, and then we see the corpse with blood-filled tubes attached to his back as he walks around a room and speaks.
A man thrashes and moans and we watch his body change (his ribs crack and shift, and fangs grow) while changing into a werewolf.
We watch a werewolf change again with much moaning, thrashing, tearing and popping.
Werewolves surround and attack vampires in a train car; a vampire has bloody slashes on her face and chest and we hear her gasping for air, we see the werewolves feeding on the remains afterward and see blood-covered bodies.
A shootout on a subway platform between vampires and werewolves shows a lot of shooting back and forth and leaves a vampire disintegrating (we watch as his skin crumbles, a blue light glows through cracks and his skin is eventually blackened), and a woman convulsing, after having been shot.
A werewolf tears at the throat of a vampire (we see the glimmer of blood and hear tearing).
A werewolf is shot and we see silver nitrate pulse through his veins, his skin is tinged-blue and he lies motionless.
We see a dead body with many very bloody bullet holes in his chest and the bullets are dug out with a lot of squishing and slurping.

Profanity

Mild
25 of 57 found this mild
'F*ck' is said three times.
'Sh*t' is said three times.
'H*ll' is said three times.
'D*mn' is said.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Mild
35 of 45 found this mild
People are shown drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Severe
37 of 54 found this severe
The shootout in the subway at the beginning of the film is very sudden and jarring.
The constant violence and the mini deaths throughout may be difficult for some of yours.
This is not a movie for the faint of heart, and includes several scenes of moderately graphic gore.
