Sex & Nudity

  • Michael and his girlfriend only kiss once in the beginning and says romantic things in the movie's beginning.
  • Michael says romantic things to his girlfriend after the movie.

Violence & Gore

  • A man turns into a werewolf type creature and stalks his girlfriend. The girlfriend falls over and it is implied that the girlfriend is killed by the werewolf creature (because the scene of her being slayed by the monster does not take place onscreen.)
  • Michael and his girlfriend walking by a graveyard become surrounded by zombies. One zombie has a hole in its stomach, and another has blood dripping from its mouth. Michael then turns into a zombie and the zombies start dancing. The girlfriend gets chased by the zombies and hides in a house, closing her eyes. The zombies break into the house but when the girlfriend opens her eyes, the zombies are gone and all she can see is Michael. Michael then looks at the camera and his eyes glow yellow.

Profanity

  • There is one use of "hell" by the narrator.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The music video has some frightening moments, but really they are very safe to watch.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Michael transforms into a werewolf.
  • After the ending credits, we see the zombies return to their graves. Right at the very end of the ending credits, a zombie looks at the screen and you see it close up.
  • At the movie's ending, this was all a realistic nightmare, but then Michael turns around and his eyes glow yellow and the narrator's maniacal laughter is heard.
  • The opening scene contains graphic and disturbing imagery that may upset viewers.
  • When Michael turns around he has a zombie face. That may be frightening to some younger viewers.
