Sex & Nudity
None
Near beginning of the film, a mother gets out of bed to check on her son and it is obvious she is braless.
Violence & Gore
None
A man's face is badly "sunburned" by the light of a spaceship. A police car accidentally drives off a ridge, but the driver is presumably unharmed as the car lands safely.
The dead livestock in the movie were real tranquilized animals.
Profanity
Mild
Three or four uses of "Shit" and about that many of "Goddamn."
A couple uses each of "Damn," and "Hell."
A use of "Ass." A few abuses of God's title. Some mild insults.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
Mild
The whole atmosphere of the UFO scenes can be quite eerie.
A man becomes increasingly obsessive over the course of the film and his erratic behaviour causes stress for his family. His wife argues with him in an attempt to get him to see reason, which upsets their children.
