sexual violence and sexual threat
There are scenes of sexual violence, including when a woman is attacked and groped, her clothing torn to expose her breasts, which a man bites causing blood to appear. Later, the woman’s nude dead body is seen covered in blood as a result of the attack.
additional issues
There is strong sexualised nudity, including in a scene in which two characters are seen preparing to have sex. Scenes of strong violence feature characters being slashed and killed with bladed weapons, often resulting in blood splatter onto their faces or nearby objects. In one instance, a man spits blood after he has been stabbed in the chest. Characters are threatened by fantastical ghostly figures, seeking to commit violent acts. In a scene of moderate threat, a village is attacked by a group wielding flaming arrows they fire at the buildings and residents. There are infrequent references to various characters’ intentions to take their own lives, though none do so. There is use of mild and very mild bad language (‘bastard’, ‘asshole’, ‘hell’, ‘damn’). References are made to a man’s terminal illness. Characters grieve the death of loved ones.
