violence
Scenes include limbs being severed, people being set on fire, and strong gory images as an alien morphs into different shapes and creatures. These transformations include mutated dog-forms, and a severed head turning into a spider-like creature. Dead bodies are also discovered at an abandoned site, which include some gory injury detail.
additional issues
There are sequences of strong threat and horror, including tense scenes in which men argue and conduct experiments to ascertain which among them is an alien. Some scenes include jump scares. There is also use of strong language ('motherf**ker, 'f**k') and milder terms including 'bitch', 'god', 'shit', 'piss', 'damn', 'screw' and 'asshole'. Brief moments of drug misuse, including marijuana smoking, also occur.
