Movie is extremely frightening and intense.

Small creatures drop from the monster that attack and bite people. The bites cause harmful effects to humans. Their appearance and movement may be extremely unsettling to some viewers.

The whole movie is photographed on a home movie camera. The camera is very shaky (especially at action scenes). That may cause motion sickness.

Scene which shows a helicopter view of the monster under attack can look frighteningly realistic to some.

The initial attack is quite intense, shocking since it comes without warning to the viewer (or the characters).
