Sex & Nudity

mild

A nerdy man flirts with women at a party, telling them that their handshakes give him an "electrical surge". A woman wears a strapless and low-cut dress. Some mild sexual innuendo.

Violence & Gore

severe

Dogs attack and kill several people. In some cases the people have their throats or stomachs torn open. A large amount of blood is seen throughout the film. A man goes around with a gun, shooting and killing pet dogs in order to end the problem of the dog killing spree. The opening title features the word 'Dogs' in bold white lettering. The white quickly fills up with red and the red drips downward to resemble blood. People argue and fight throughout the film.

Profanity

mild

"Damn", "hell" and "goddamn" are said. Some minor name calling.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

mild

People drink wine and martinis at a night party.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

moderate

A man states that being attacked by a large dog was almost as scary as the marriage he had to his first wife.
