Is there a way of finding some way of determining whether or not this and other movies showcased on this site is suitable for kids? Thanks!

hi nancy, my short film entitled “I FUCKING HATE YOU” is not, I repeat, NOT suitable for children. yes, it features a catchy little song and the main character is indeed “childish”, but again… it’s not for kids. it is suitable, however, for anyone who has been in love. and not had that love returned. in other words, EVERYONE ELSE.

Hey, everyone! Thanks so much for your comments. Nancy, there are a few expletives and some scenes with sexual themes and nudity in ABEL RAISES CAIN. It’s probably more of an adult movie, but we have never had any complaints from parents who have brought their kids to come see it.

My question, of course, after looking watching Private Dicks, and then reading up on Alan Abel, is of course - “Is this Abel Raises Cain movie real or a hoax?”
I suppose I would have to try buying it to find out, which I plan to do once I can afford it!
Alan Abel is my hero. At the moment. LOL!
