Sex & Nudity

  • A woman removes her dress revealing a slip, and remains that way for several minutes
  • Female characters brasseries can be seen through their sheer robes
  • None of either. An extremely vague allusion to sexual activity is used, but it isn't something most will pick up. Some teenagers are kissing and necking in a car in two very brief scenes.
  • A character has many wives which are awoken during the movie. Towards the end of the film, a little girl becomes one of the character's wives.

Violence & Gore

  • a brief fight between two male characters.
  • A scene where a gun is fired against a character that is inhuman and is unharmed.
  • A brief scene involving highly unrealistic gore. A character's hand is severed off after touching a torch, presumably by some supernatural means. The character runs away with a burning stub while the detached, burning hand is shown and handled by the villain.
  • The villain repeatedly slaps his tied-up wife until her cheeks are bloodied. Not very gory but the cruelty depicted may be disturbing to some.
  • Women wrestle around for a prolonged period of time in long flowing gowns and beat up a guy laying on a table (not violent).

Profanity

  • Several uses of "Oh my G-d"
  • A few "damns" and hells" pretty mild.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Smoking: None
  • Drugs, recreational: None
  • Some alcohol is consumed by a couple of teenagers necking in a car in two different scenes.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The dog's death may be upsetting to some people.
  • Many viewers were infuriated by the fact that the little girl ends up a part of the Masters cult. (essentially going to spend the rest of her life being a sex object).
