Abigail: parents' guide

Gory throughout: vampires tear open throats and eat a victim alive, people explode into blood, a body sits headless at a table, and a man falls into a pool of corpses. Stakes, guns, a cue through a leg and a snapped spine also feature.

Constant: one count found more than 200 obscenities, mostly f-words, plus motherf----r, s-words, bitch and a--hole, misuses of Jesus' name and middle-finger gestures.

No sex or nudity. A man comes on too strong to two women who turn him down, one angrily, and as a prank someone draws a penis on a sleeping man's face.

The kidnappers drink heavily from the mansion's bar and two men get drunk; one smokes a large marijuana blunt and uses a bong. The heroine is a recovering addict who sucks lollipops to fight cravings and is mocked as a junkie.

Sustained terror in a dark, locked mansion: a sweet-looking child who turns monstrous, sudden attacks, rats, characters vomiting blood, and victims reanimated as vampires. The girl is also injected with a sedative after being kidnapped.
