Three questions

Is My Name scary?

Only a little. My Name has a few tense moments, nothing that follows you to bed.

How gory is My Name?

Graphic gore and brutal violence. If graphic gore is a dealbreaker, skip it.

What is My Name rated, and is it OK for kids?

Rated TV-MA, and it earns it: moderate sex and nudity, brutal violence, and some strong language. Not one for kids.

What is My Name about?
