not be used frequently

3. Why is DNA-Pocalypse a 12?
 In the film there is minimal use of explicit language. Phrases such as “shit”
and “bitch” are used, however in a serious context and when appropriate.
 The violence is not presented in great detail, but it is implied. The violence
happens when the survivors are fighting the clones.
 There is no nudity throughout the film and no sexual content.
 Sadly, some people die, thus making the film quite sensitive. Luckily, the
deaths are not portrayed in rich detail.
 There is no use of drugs or alcohol. On the other hand, there is danger
about, meaning children under 12 could learn the behaviours of the
characters.
