Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The main character hears an audio recording his best friend made as he changed into a zombie, his voice slows and drops in tone, then wails and the recording ends as the main character cries. This is a sympathetic character and although the film is generally comedic, this moment is actually disturbing.
  • Both endings (theatrical and alternate) are darkly comic and may be disturbing to some, as they portray the alien slugs as not entirely defeated.
  • The detective is suicidal and in one scene he intends to kill himself by turning the gas oven on with all the doors sealed. He is interrupted by the main character.
