Content Rating Breakdown
💋 Sex & Nudity
ModerateThe Queen is shown wearing revealing, underwear-like undergarments under sheer, transparent layers, and she is later seen embracing her Captain while they are both apparently naked, though they are only framed from the chest up. Additionally, Boyce and Mara are shown in bed together after lovemaking, strategically covered by blankets while kissing and embracing.
🩸 Violence & Gore
SevereThe film contains highly graphic and bloody violence throughout. Notable moments include a man being tortured with a glowing hot poker, a blind woman having her fingers brutally crushed under a boot, a heavily bloodied woman crucified on a spike-covered board, and multiple characters having their throats slashed or limbs lopped off. Werewolves violently maul victims with visible blood splattering, and in one graphic sequence, Boyce digs a bullet out of his own open shoulder wound and stitches it up.
🤬 Profanity
MildLanguage is very sparse, consisting only of single, infrequent uses of terms like 'shit,' 'damn,' and 'bitch,' alongside a few uses of 'hell.' A character is also insulted as a 'dirty whore' several times.
🍺 Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
ModerateBoyce is shown drinking alcohol from glasses, bottles, and a flask on multiple occasions. While injured, he proclaims that he is drunk and pours alcohol directly onto his open shoulder wound to disinfect it before digging out a bullet.
👻 Frightening & Intense Scenes
SevereThere are multiple highly intense, suspenseful sequences designed to terrify, such as swarms of skeletal undead attacking, dangerous snakes biting at people's faces, and a massive werewolf hunting down and tearing apart human victims. Additionally, the film features unsettling depictions of physical torture and a dark, decaying post-apocalyptic atmosphere.
