    A man is eaten by the T-Rex onscreen while on the toilet. Not very graphic, slightly comedic.

    People use guns to defend themselves from attacking dinosaurs.

    A T-Rex goes to the vehicle and attack the children left behind, it tips the car over upside down, and blood on their faces and shoulders, and in muddy. Two men uses an electric fire stick to distract the dinosaur while one runs off and the other ones attempted to rescue the injured children from the tilted vehicle.

    A man is dragged inside a cage and killed by a raptor (offscreen). He screams in agony and we see his pained face.

    A live bull is lowered into a raptor pen by a harness and viciously devoured by the creatures (offscreen). When the harness is pulled back out, some diluted blood is visible for a few seconds.

    The bloody leg of a goat is seen after the animal is presumably eaten by a T-Rex.

    A T-Rex knocks a man unconscious, and we see him with a bloody leg injury.(Flesh and Bone are seen)

    A T-Rex dispatches a small dinosaur, and begins eating it. some flesh is shown dangling from its mouth.

    A Velociraptor tackles a man and we see it biting his face briefly. We hear the man screaming in pain offscreen and it is implied he is killed brutally by it. Most of the event is covered by plant foliage. Intense.

    A battle between velociraptors and a T-Rex ensues. The raptors bite it but the T-Rex proceeds to kill them both.

    There is quite a jumpy bit when Ellie gets attacked by the velociraptors. It is only scary the first time you see it, as it is unexpected.

    There are lot of suspenseful and intense sense with gore and some comic violence to make up for it.

    The film's Oscar winning sound design is famously intense. A great deal of frightening dinosaur sounds (pounding footsteps, Raptor shrieks, Dilophosaurus' hissing, the T-Rex's iconic roar, etc), as well as environmental sound effects including thunder, rain, and destruction. John Williams' score can also get very ominous and scary at points, adding to the suspense.

    The movie is some what horror adjacent.

    There is a T-Rex chase scene. The car goes fast enough to escape the T-Rex but there is a collision and everybody is in danger. In that same scene the car hits a tree and glass goes everywhere. No-one is hurt.

    A car falls in to a tree with a kid in it someone go's up to get him but car falls down and nearly hits them but they are all ok.

    The second half of the film is comparatively intense and contains several sequences in which many of the main characters are in danger - mainly from dinosaurs in the park.

    A scene where the T-Rex escapes from the habitat includes one onscreen death and an unseen major leg injury. Children are in danger in the scene but come to no major harm.

    A scene includes two children who are trapped in a kitchen with raptors hunting them.

    People are killed by dinosaurs in very gruesome manners, very intense and somewhat disturbing.
