  • Alice's buttocks are briefly seen in a nightmare sequence.
  • It is implied that Freddy's Mother was raped by 100 inmates of a prison, after mistakenly getting locked in with them for a couple days.

Violence & Gore

  • The character Mark has hemophobia. Some points of the film involve his character fainting at the sight of blood or seeing blood around him.
  • The souls of Freddy's victims (in the forms of their faces, attached to his body by a slimy chord) tear through his chest, and pull a baby version of him out of his body through his chest. Not graphic or gory, very funny.

Profanity

  • Freddy uses wine to mutilate his arm, then exclaims, "Bad year, Dan!"

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • M12+ ( Horror Themes )

Spoilers

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

Violence & Gore

  • Dan is transformed into a motorbike monster. Cables and wires unravel from the motorcycle and burrow under his skin. As the motorcycle accelerates, Dan's blood drains from the wires pumping gasoline into his body. He also has his leg stabbed by a motorcycle gas pump. Cables also dig into his face and back. His transformation finishes with his skin drying up and tearing away from his body. A graphic part involves his skull emerging from the wires ripping away his jaw and scalp.
  • The film contains an unsettling death scene where Greta is tortured by being force-fed her own innards by Freddy. This torture also causes her face to swell, and Greta dies from choking.
