Sex & Nudity

  • A older woman is shown wearing a morning gown and the outline of her nipples is clearly visible in a shot lasting about 20 seconds.
  • A woman is seen with a nightgown. No cleavage is shown however she is not wearing bra.

Violence & Gore

  • Throughout the film, a few dead bodies are shown (either mummified or decayed, the latter being in shadow).
  • Characters refer to a trap known as the 'Meat Grinder', and people being killed in it - although it is never explicitly stated how it works.

Profanity

  • Several misuses of "G-d" and "L-rd" (misuses or not is not clear)
  • 1 use of bastard and scum
  • Very infrequent mild language, especially considering the length. A few uses of hell, damn and shit.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Characters drink alcohol in a few scenes.
  • One of the characters claims that he is a heavy smoker; however, he is only seen smoking in a few scenes.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Violence & Gore

  • At the end of the film, one of the three main characters takes out a bomb and says that he is going to use it to destroy an artifact in the Zone. The three men then struggle and fights over it (at the end of the scene, one of them has a bleeding nose).

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A black dog is seen throughout many of the scenes staring at the camera (viewers) which can be scary and intense. It can be thought that the dog is having evil intention when it approach some of the characters, though it doesn't do any harm.
  • The duration of the film that takes place in the Zone is very unsettling - the Stalker describes it as a very dangerous place filled with deadly traps, and the atmosphere is always very intense when the main characters stray away from the trail.
  • There is a scene when the main characters must walk through a dark tunnel and then wade through deep, dirty water. While nothing frightening happens, the atmosphere here is very tense and claustrophobic.
