Tremors: parents' guide

Giant worms drag people underground, killing a shepherd and his sheep, two road workers and several townspeople, mostly off screen. A severed head and bloody sheep carcasses are found. The creatures are shot, blown up and splattered in goo, with little human blood.

Frequent swearing: one f-word, which survived edits made to avoid an R, plus many s-words and 'goddamn,' 'bastard,' 'ass,' 'asshole' and 'Jesus Christ.' Movieguide tallied about 150 crude or profane words overall.

Light flirting between a handyman and a visiting seismology student, ending in a kiss. Common Sense lists no nudity; Movieguide's summary mentions brief partial female nudity, but its own content chart says none. No sex scenes.

Guides note only casual beer drinking by adults. No drunkenness or drug use is reported.

Frequent jump scares as tentacled worms burst from the ground and townspeople scramble onto rooftops and boulders. A child is nearly caught. The playful tone keeps it more exciting than disturbing.
