Sex & Nudity

  • A couple makes out several times. During the finale, they start undressing and begin to have sex, but are interrupted. Bare-chested male is only nudity.
  • Scenes contain lots of making out, attempts of having sex, uses of words like 'porn' etc., women in underwear or clothes with cleavage.
  • A woman is shown wearing a bathrobe loosely wrapped with a bra underneath.
  • Plenty of flirting and sexual innuendo, most of it dealing with a vampire's power to seduce.

Violence & Gore

  • Though the movie's tone is slightly comic, there's still plenty of strong, vampire-related violence, including lots of blood, dead bodies, biting of necks, licking of blood, stabbing with stakes, shooting with crossbows and guns, characters being hit with cars, fighting, and explosions.
  • Vampires burst into flame and ashes when they're killed.
  • People are bitten by vampires and blood is generally shown (usually as a splash).
  • A teenage boy is bitten by a vampire in a pool and blood is seen in the water.
  • A woman who has been bitten by a vampire suddenly explodes in blood and disintegrates when she goes outside into the sunlight.
  • Two teenage boys in a car are bitten by a vampire and blood sprays on a boy's face and the car window.
  • A vampire is hit in the neck with a large axe and a very large, gory wound is shown.
  • A vampire is shot several times resulting in blood spurts.
  • A vampire's arm is trapped in a shutting door, and is sliced off. He is seen hobbling around without his arm for several minutes.
  • A vampire is stabbed in the back with a wooden stake. It thrashes around convulsing and violently in pain, and is then hit by a car.
  • A vampires broken arm snaps itself back into place and heals.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A man drinks liquor (Midori) frequently and we see him holding and drinking bottles and glasses filled with liquor and tells a teen boy that he "gets drunk".
  • Two teens briefly smoke a marijuana joint in a car and are approached by a man who knocks on the window, prompting one of the teens to say, "Ditch the weed, ditch the weed..."
  • A man jokes that when he is drunk he will "try anything," a man drinks a beer and we see empty beer bottles and wine glasses on a table.
  • A man offers a teen boy a drink of liquor (Midori) (the teen boy turns it down), a man asks a teen boy for a beer and the teen boy gives him bottles of beer, a man offers to purchase beer for a teen boy and the boy's mother, we see people in a club/bar holding drinks in their hands.
