Ages 15+, but every child is different
The film features stylized yet frequent bloody violence, gore, and crude humor unsuitable for younger viewers. Mature themes regarding death and predatory behavior require the emotional maturity of an older adolescent audience.

Detailed breakdown of potentially concerning content
Sex & Nudity
There are occasional suggestive jokes and references to the vampires' past romantic encounters. The content is generally comedic in nature rather than explicit.
Violence & Gore

Profanity
The dialogue includes moderate profanity, such as f*ck (used occasionally for emphasis), sh*t (multiple times in casual and frustrated contexts), and b*tch. The language is conversational but frequent enough to warrant caution for younger viewers.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
The characters are occasionally seen drinking at parties and social clubs. While not a central theme, the consumption of alcohol appears naturally within the vampires' lifestyle.
Frightening Scenes
