Some robots are quite creepy, especially when human parts are attached. Almost all of the battle scenes include robots with human organs and body parts. There are a few suspenseful moments. The robots are quite scary. A man that was turned into a robot and supposedly killed is seen near the end in the water. A really quick popup of the person/robot is seen, which is frightening. Close to the end of the movie there is a battle between a massive robot with attached human parts and the survivors at the time. It lasts several minutes, and is intense and frightening. During this time people die, and more blood is seen. A man hears something in a pipe and goes to investigate. He pulled in by something. Later on, we see parts of his body (including a severed head.)
