Sex & Nudity

•     One kissing scene between two characters, nothing else. No sex or nudity.

Violence & Gore

•     Teresa and Newt die. Teresa falls into an inferno of fire as she scarifies her life to save Thomas. Newt gets infected and turns into a zombie, attempting to eat Thomas, but Thomas drives a knife through his stomach in order to save himself.
•     Janson and Thomas have a throw down. Janson shoots Thomas in the stomach, and later on Thomas throws an object, cracking the glass and zombie-infected people eat/kill Janson.
•     Newt slowly rots away as a "zombie" as later in the film tommy is left with no choice but to fight him. Eventually newt is stabbed. He was earlier seen with blood coming out of his mouth.
•     Teresa has a bottle smashed on her head and also has her head smashed on a table. Blood is shown in both sequences. Later tommy is shot as she struggles to keep the blood seeping from his body. Teresa than manages to have a villain pulled apart.
•     Theresa, Newt, Janson, and Ava die.
•     There are some scenes involving the exchange of gunfire and fighting scenes throughout as the male protagonist and his friends take on their enemies. Some of the stronger scenes include one where a character is shot after exchanging blows with another man, and blood is shown oozing out of his wound. In another scene, a character is stabbed in the torso with a dagger and dies.
•     There is very frequent bloody scenes in the film meaning this one is the most intense.
•     Expect some violence similar to the first two movies. Some beloved characters die.

Profanity

•     There is some use of coarse language such as "shit", "goddamn", "bastard", and "bitch".
•     The main characters use their own system of swearing consisting of words such as "shuck" and "clunk".

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

    None

Frightening & Intense Scenes

•     There are some scenes of threat, such as those depicting infected zombie-like people attacking the characters, as well as a character trying to escape from large menacing bugs chasing him through underground tunnels.
•     THE MAZE RUNNER: The DEATH CURE could be a bit darker than the first 2 films so expect a bit more intensity.
