Ages 15+Source checked

Why this age? Frequent terrifying attacks, deaths, peril, explosions, disturbing creature imagery, and the central theme of terminal illness and accepting death make this inappropriate for most younger viewers. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.

What’s in it?

Products & advertising1/5
Why this rating?

Generic commercial items like pizza and snacks appear as part of the narrative environment.

Death of a character4/5
Why this rating?

Several characters die during the invasion, including Reuben, and Sam knowingly accepts her own imminent death; grief and mortality are central.

Graphic injury3/5
Why this rating?

Violence is mostly focused on the intensity of the attacks; blood and injuries are shown but not excessively gratuitous.

Strong language2/5
Why this rating?

Some mild profanity is used during stressful survival situations. The available sources do not establish frequent or especially strong language.

Religious themes1/5
Why this rating?

A ruined church provides refuge, but religious belief or practice is not described as a significant theme.

Romance1/5
Why this rating?

Sam and Eric form a caring survival partnership, but the supplied plot does not indicate a conventional romance.

Frightening scenes5/5
Why this rating?

Survival horror centers on sound-sensitive alien creatures, sudden attacks, hiding, pursuit, isolation, and constant danger to people and a cat.

Violence4/5
Why this rating?

Alien attacks, explosions, military bombardment, stampedes, dangerous escapes, and a survivor accidentally killing another person occur repeatedly.

What’s good in it?

Courage & resilience5/5
Why this rating?

Characters repeatedly face lethal creatures and overwhelming danger; Sam ultimately sacrifices herself to help Eric and Frodo escape.

Creativity & curiosity3/5
Why this rating?

Survival requires inventive use of silence, distractions, routes, water, music, and everyday objects, with poetry and music adding expressive creativity.

Diverse representation3/5
Why this rating?

The central cast includes Black characters and an English character with distinct backgrounds and agency; the supplied material gives limited broader representation detail.

Kindness & empathy4/5
Why this rating?

Sam and Eric help one another, protect Frodo, share resources, and develop trust amid the disaster.

Positive messages4/5
Why this rating?

The film emphasizes compassion, helping others, perseverance, meaningful human connection, and choosing to live fully despite mortality.
