Twilight: parents' guide

Vampire attacks on people are mostly quick flashes with some blood. In the climax a vampire bites Bella, hurls her into a mirrored wall and stomps on her leg; the Cullens then nearly twist his head off on screen and burn him off screen.

Very mild: one 'hell,' a handful of 'oh my God' exclamations, and a jokey insult. No other profanity.

Lingering stares, hugs and a few kisses. Edward and Bella kiss and sink onto her bed, with her in her underwear, before he stops it. He admits to slipping in to watch her sleep, then stays the night cuddling, clothed.

Bella's father, the town police chief, keeps beer in the house, has a can now and then, and drops a couple of six-packs in a friend's lap. Edward calls Bella his personal 'heroin' as a figure of speech. No teen drinking or smoking.

Steady menace: vampires crouch like predators, Bella finds bloody images in her online research, and the villain lures her alone with a faked threat to her mother. Earlier, a group of men follow her down a dark street with clear sexual menace until Edward arrives.
