Super 8

Contains one use of strong language, moderate threat and soft drug use

threat and horror
The young friends find themselves in several dangerous and tense situations, which include a train crash and various scenarios in which people disappear or come under attack from a mysterious force. The threat carries a degree of intensity, including moments designed to make the audience jump, but these are not overly sustained or disturbing.
language
There is infrequent strong language ('f**k'); other language includes uses of the terms 'Jesus', 'hell', 'asshole', 'shit', 'bitching', 'pussy', 'son of a bitch', 'piss', 'douche' and 'dick'.
drugs
A man is briefly seen smoking marijuana. The drug misuse is criticised and is not glamorised.
additional issues
There is occasional sight of bloody injury. A young boy enjoys using fireworks; occasionally he does so in an irresponsible manner, but this behaviour is clearly condoned.

threat and horror
Moderate threat occurs in various sequences in which the young characters find themselves in a variety of tense, precarious situations, which include when a train crashes, and when people mysteriously begin to disappear. There are jump moments but the overall tone of the film is not disturbing.
language
There is infrequent strong language ('f**k'); other language includes uses of milder terms such as 'Jesus', 'hell', 'asshole', 'shit', 'bitching', 'pussy', 'son of a bitch', 'piss', 'douche' and 'dick'.
drugs
An adult smokes a marijuana joint, but the activity is not endorsed and is eventually criticised.
additional issues
A young boy handles a firework irresponsibly and his actions are clearly condoned; fireworks are later used by a boy in order to protect his friends, but this is presented as a last resort and not as a source of amusement.
