His friend Tetsuo is injured in an accident and taken to a top-secret government facility. He develops telekinetic powers but decides to use them for evil rather than good.

Parent Guide

In a scene a girl shoots a guys face in half and blood goes everywhere. (Brief)

A man walks along with a torso wound; blood soaks his coat and forms a pool as he lies down.

A man falls from a bike, and a teen driving past hits him with a hammer, knocking off his helmet with blood splattering briefly.

Violent scene where a man shot two dogs who seems to be attempting to attack the man; he shoots them one by one, bloody scenes of animal cruelty.

A man confronts a firing squad of armed officers and is shot multiple times. Blood is shown.

A teenage girl is beated and sexually assaulted by motorbike gang members. Very violent but not sexually descriptive (they left her beated and topless).

A gym coach punches one delinquent and slaps a few others. Some blood sprays. They walk out afterwards with a side of their face swollen. Blood briefly pours out of the punched one's mouth.

In a scene, a biker punches her in the face, she drops to the floor. She is later seen with a bloody nose and bruised face.

A man is shot, and a part of his face is lacerated with much blood spewing out briefly. The exit wound is briefly seen, and he slides into the water with blood trailing him.

In a rage, a teen boy hits a gang member seven times onscreen and a few times offscreen. Blood spurts twice.

A teenage boy hallucinates his insides falling out. Intestines, blood, and guts are visible as he attempts to put them back. Brief, but animated.

A gun is found with a severed arm on the handle, it is shaken off (minimal blood).

In a hallway, two guards and a doctor are exploded to nothing but blood and limbs. A lot of blood is on the floor, walls, and ceiling. Limbs and blood are briefly dripping from the ceiling as the boy walks away.

Laser weapons are fired upon a mob of rowdy citizens. A laser hits a man's shoulder, making a large amount of blood spew out briefly.

One or two fleeting glimpses of bloody shootings/beatings.

A teen boy's arm is severed at the bicep by a laser weapon fired from the sky. A bloody stump is later seen, with blood dripping.

A girl is quickly crushed into nothing but blood (as if she had exploded). (Minimal Blood.)

A large trail of blood briefly leads to a few dead bodies in a bathtub. (Very brief.)

A man shoots another man in the stomach, he collapses with some blood. He is later seen walking with blood on his jumpsuit.

A boy steps on a glass and breaks it, with bits of blood splattering. He then pulls the bloody pieces out of his foot. Some blood is on the floor in the next few shots.
