Sex & Nudity

A brief kiss..

Two men stand naked but only their upper body is shown, and one of the men's public hair is visible aswell.

Many shirtless men.

Violence & Gore

The main theme of the movie is about a war raging between Vampires and Lycans (wherewolves)--Parents should know its almost literal non-stop graphic violence/killings between the Vampires and Lycans. They all use swords, guns, kives, scientific/biological weaponry, and claws/fangs to destroy each other with graphic results including a scene of decapitation.

Michael tells a gaphic story about how his wife died, and Selene tells a story about how her family was killed and Victor saved her from Lycans ** ( we later find out he personally slaughtered them ) **

we see several flashback-type sequences of Lucien, Sonja, and Victor. Sonja, Victors daughter, was a vampire and Lucien was a Lycan. Victor found out the two got married and killed Sonja, and forced Lucien to watch. Thus starting a 400 year war between Lycans and Vampires.

A man is in the elavator pushing bullets out from his body and, as a result, having blood oozing out from each bullet hole.

Many gory scenes (Rated 18A)

Profanity

some scattered R-Rated profanity (nothing too over the top) and 4 F-words.

several of the Lycans and Vampires smoke cigarettes

the whole theme of Vampires and Wherewolves out to kill each other will turn some viewers off. This is not a movie for the faint of heart, and includes several scenes of moderatly graphic gore, and a scene where the Vampire leaders head/face is cut with a giant sword
