Sex & Nudity

Mild
1 of 2 found this mild
None, a woman takes her bra off but her breasts are obsured and no frontal nudity is seen.

Violence & Gore

Severe
2 of 2 found this severe
Even though there is a lot of blood splatter in Larva it is not a particuarly graphic film. None of the parasite attacks are graphic, parasites simply grab hold of their victims and wrap themselves around them.
There is a shot of a dead cow, it's stomach starts to pulsate and ripple before it splits open and blood splashes over the camera lens and it fades to the opening titles.
Dr. Elis Rudkus examines the dead cow, there is a shot of the cow on the ground with it's intestines hanging out and laying on the ground, the cow is shown from a distance and the shot isn't that graphic.
Dr. Rudkus injects a cow, there is a shot of him stabbing the cow with the syringe & it entering the cows body.
Dr. Rudkus cuts his finger on a broken glass beaker, blood is sen on his finger and several spots drip onto a table. A small worm like parasite is seen moving towards the spot of blood and then drinking it.
There is a shot of a dead dog, it's body mutilated. this is a quick shot and it just looks like a slab of meat with fur rather than a dog.
There is a shot of a dead dog/rabbit (not sure which) in a stream, there is a closeup of it and it has a large neck wound.
There is a breif shot of another cow with it's stomach split open, nothing too graphic is shown.
Jacob Long shoots a large mutant parasite with a shotgun twice and kills it.
A man in a shower starts to have a nose bleed, his eyes start to bleed, there is a very breif shot of his chest/back starting to pulsate and ripple, there is a shot of his feet which are covered in blood which also shows blood draining away down the plug hole. There is a shot of him from above which shows him lying dead on the shower floor covered in blood.

Profanity

Mild
2 of 3 found this mild
Once, in the sewer system at the end Jacob Long (William Forsythe) says 'right this way you slimy bastards'.

Various character's are attacked and killed by giant parasitic creatures and some scenes are deliberately shot to be scary.
