It got a "morally offensive" rating, but I couldn't help but think that they had some fun writing this one up. <blockquote>The snake attacks, though yucky, are reasonably restrained for the horror genre, but the frequent expletives and occasional sexual elements are objectionable, all the more for being so gratuitous. Frequent rough, crude and profane language, a premarital sexual episode with upper female nudity and drug use, innuendo, intense peril, an off-camera murder and much midair death and devastation. O -- morally offensive.</blockquote> Much midair death and devastation? Crikey. This week I noticed the USCCB rating of this in the Review.

Much midair death and devastation? Crikey.
