This film was cross-rated by the Film and Video Labelling Body. You can find out more about cross-rating here.

Violence

There are jump scares as characters are suddenly snatched and eaten by a giant snake.

We see a snake blown to pieces with a flare gun: body parts land on the ground. There’s some blood when a snake is stabbed.

Characters are threatened with guns, and we see a character knocked out cold with the butt of a rifle.

A character is thought to be dead and his body is used as bait for the giant snake.

Offensive language

Occasional offensive language is used as exclamations, including ‘f*ck’, ‘sh*t’, ars*hole’, and ‘b*tch’.
