**Underworld** is a stop-motion animated horror movie.

## ScreenIt

OUR WORD TO PARENTS:
The following is a brief summary of the content found in this animated horror movie that has been rated PG-13. The film gets that rating for terror and multiple disturbing images - of threatening, grotesque, and uncanny demons and locations - that may be frightening or traumatizing to young kids, all depending on their age, level of maturity, and tolerance for such material.
Some of the disturbing images include the sight of a human-like demon losing or removing her body parts (with very little blood or gore, although kids might get scared by it or think it looks disgusting), as well as scenes where various characters almost die and the general thought of children getting abducted and replaced by objects and creatures that are deadly, horrifying or just disgusting.
Some violence is present, with most of it coming near the end when nuclear missile launchers fire at a character in a hearse and in another scene where the evil Satan tries to kill children. A few questionable phrases are present, with one song that is sung by demon children being about them abducting human kids and torturing them. As such, several characters exhibit very bad attitudes.

Beyond that, there is one short scene where a woman's butt is used to seduce Satan, as well as imitative behavior that might prove enticing to kids. If you are still worried about the film's appropriateness for anyone in your home who wishes to view it, however, you should take a close look at our comprehensive content listings.

### Alcohol/Drugs (Minor)

* A character is drugged but it isn't specified if the substance is an illegal drug or not.

### Blood/Gross Stuff (Moderate)

* A shapeless creature is seen with soulless black eyes and bloodstained teeth.
* A demon suddenly decapitates (no traditional blood or gore).
* Although there's no blood outside of the wound, kids might find a scene where Succi tears off her arm frightening or sickening. The same holds true for when Lucifer temporarily decapitates himself (again, there's no blood or gore outside of an unrealistic wound).
* A cultist rips open his chest and massages his withered heart. Later in the movie, the cultist rips his heart apart and puts half of it in the chest wound of a corpse.
* Succi jumps from a skyscraper and lands on the ground, bursting apart (she reattaches everything later with no traditional blood or gore).
* A duck is seen with chunks missing from certain areas, exposing blood and organs.
* A man pulls out a skinned and decapitated head that has been given to him as a peace offering.
* Lucifer's jaw is blown off by an explosion, exposing a bloody wound (it is reattached soon after).
* Satan is skinned alive and reduced to a suffering lump of wiggling organic matter and other gross parts that fall in a pit of lava.
* Children beat the remaining organic matter to death (blood pools out of it).

### Disrespectful/Bad Attitude (Heavy)

* The cultist wants to imprison and brainwash Succi. In turn, she repeatedly tries to murder him by poisoning his coffee and food, but he simply goes unconscious when he consumes it.
* Lucifer decides to abduct multiple children so that he can prove to the other demons that humans don't hate them (Lucifer doesn't know that what he is doing is terrible, however).
* The Demon Sprogs attack the Leviathan and then abduct multiple children.
* The Demon Sprogs sing about abducting and torturing children for a sustained amount of time, drowning them and mocking their suffering, burning them alive, and dissecting them while they're still conscious.

### Frightening Scenes (Heavy)

* Scenes listed under "Violence" and "Blood/Gross Stuff," as well as the sight of several of the odd and uncanny-looking monsters that populate the Underworld (including the threatening appearance of Lucifer, Satan, a shapeless creature with soulless black eyes and bloodstained teeth, etc.) could terrify or outright traumatize some kids, depending on their age, level of maturity and tolerance for such material and sights.
* The same holds true for the film's setting of the Underworld (in coroner's offices and other sinister and foreboding areas).
* Children are tormented by the huge, threatening-looking Satan.
* The sight and thought of parents having their children abducted and then being given frightening and deadly peace offerings might scare kids.
* Satan shackles Succi and the children to a long rack. Satan then raises one of the sides, hoping to drop the two in lava (they aren't severely injured).

### Guns/Weapons (Moderate)

* Three of Satan's terrorist-like guards carry machine guns that they later fire at Lucifer in the climax.
* Nuclear missile launchers fire shots at Lucifer as he is valeted by a hearse, eventually hitting it and burning him and the wreckage of the hearse.

### Imitative Behavior (Heavy)

* Phrases: "You horrible wench" and "Kill yourself."
* Kids might get the idea that abducting people is fun, or that they should give disgusting items to others.
* Succi repeatedly tries to murder the cultist by poisoning his coffee and food (kids might get the same idea).
* Succi jumps from a skyscraper and lands on the ground, bursting apart (she reattaches everything later, possibly making kids think they can do the same thing).

### Jump Scenes (Minor)

* A demon suddenly decapitates himself (no traditional blood or gore).

### Music (Scary/Tense) (Moderate)

* Dramatic and suspenseful music plays in many scenes.

### Music (Inappropriate) (Heavy)

* The Demon Sprogs sing about abducting and torturing children for a sustained amount of time, drowning them and mocking their suffering, burning them alive, and dissecting them while they're still conscious.
* Another song includes the phrases "Jesus Christ" and "God be damned."

### Profanity (Mild)

* A song includes the phrases "Jesus Christ" and "God be damned."

### Sex/Nudity (Mild)

* To divert Satan's attention, Succi places her lower half near a corner, making it look like she's sticking her buttocks out in a sexualized, stripper-like manner; Satan rubs her leg, before finding out that it's only her lower half.

### Smoking (Minor)

* Cigars are seen in an ashtray, with smoke still coming out of them.

### Tense Family Scenes (Moderate)

* Parents have their children abducted, and they are seen grieving (the children are returned by the end of the movie).

### Violence (Moderate)

* Succi's arm, severed from the rest of her body, beats the cultist in the face many times.
* Slapstick material includes Lucifer smashing his head against a bell and landing on hard concrete.
* Succi jumps from a skyscraper and lands on the ground, bursting apart (she reattaches everything later).
* The Demon Sprogs attack the Leviathan and later struggle with and punch each other.
* A rat is fed to Satan, with its bloody cage seen soon after.
* A character bludgeons a cat to death with a sledgehammer, causing blood to pool out. The carcass is later given to a woman as a peace offering (no injury detail is seen).
* Nuclear missile launchers fire shots at Lucifer as he is valeted by a hearse, eventually hitting it and burning him and the wreckage of the hearse. Lucifer is then seen near the wreckage with his jaw blown off (it is reattached soon after).
* Satan shackles Succi and the children to a long rack. Satan then raises one of the sides, hoping to drop the two in lava (they aren't severely injured).
* Lucifer has to avoid dozens of blades while on a randomly spinning platform, along with demonic guards who fire machine guns at him. Lucifer tricks the guards into going near the blades, upon which their arms get cut off.
* Satan is skinned alive and reduced to a suffering lump of wiggling organic matter and other gross parts that fall in a pit of lava.
* Children beat the lump of organic matter to death (no blood but it's crushed as a result).
