Still of the Night (1982) - Parents Guide Movie Rating

MPA: PG BBFC: 15 Maturity Rating 16+

Sex & Nudity

mild

A man watches a woman through an apartment window as she undresses (her bare back is visible) and puts on a robe; she then removes the robe in front of another man in preparation for a massage (we see her bare buttocks). A man arrives at a woman's apartment as she lies on a table, nude, being massaged by another man (we see her bare back, the side of her bare breast, and her buttocks are covered by a towel); they talk, the man kisses her, and he leaves.

Violence & Gore

mild

A man opens a car door and another man's corpse falls out (we see a lot of blood on his nose and clothing). In a dream sequence, a man enters a dark house and envisions several startling and disturbing images: a large bird flies out of a cabinet and a young girl pulls the eye off of a teddy bear (blood pours); the girl follows the man through several rooms and up a staircase; doors fly open and she appears in front of him (we hear a scream). A man shoves another man against a wall in a dark tunnel and holds a knife to his throat, asking for his wallet and coat; the other man complies and leaves; a woman approaches the first man from behind and we hear a groan as he is presumably killed. A man forcibly grabs a woman and begins to shout at her, but ceases. A man's corpse is shown lying on the floor (we see blood on his nose and hand and a trail of blood on a filing cabinet). A woman stabs a man in the back with a knife (we later see some blood on his clothing and hand). A woman appears in front of another woman, brandishing a knife with blood on her hand; she chases the woman into a room and the second woman hides behind a locked door; the first woman sticks the knife through the door, nearly stabbing the other woman, and chases her onto a balcony overlooking the ocean; she raises the knife and tells her to jump; the other woman turns away and the woman with the knife falls over the balcony railing; the other woman grabs her hand, but her jacket sleeve rips and she falls, landing on a rock below (we understand she is dead).

At least 2 anatomical terms, some sexual references, 1 mild obscenity, 2 religious exclamations.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

moderate

A dream sequence, that includes a "jump moment" of a bird suddenly flying out, a creepy little girl with blank staring eyes, a teddy bear that bleeds, doors that suddenly fly open, and an overall tone that could be considered scary. The film has multiple suspenseful moments, where it seems the lead character could be in danger. The lights go out while a man is in a basement. A man follows a woman into a park at night. A knife-wielding killer comes after a character.
