Ages 13+, but every child is different
The film features intense supernatural violence, frightening imagery, and creature-based gore unsuitable for younger children. The dark, high-stakes nature of the threat requires the emotional maturity of a teen audience.
Content Safety Breakdown
Detailed breakdown of potentially concerning content
Sex & Nudity
There is very mild romantic tension between the leads, including some suggestive banter and a brief, non-explicit kiss. The female protagonist wears period-appropriate but modest clothing throughout the film.
Violence & Gore
The movie features constant action-adventure violence, including gunfire, sword fighting, and fantastical creatures. While there is no gratuitous gore, characters are shown being attacked, mummified, or sustaining injuries during battles.
Profanity
The dialogue contains very mild language, including uses of "d*mn" and "h*ll" used during moments of frustration or excitement. Profanity is infrequent and generally not directed at others as insults.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
Several scenes depict characters drinking alcohol in social settings or bars, and one character is frequently seen smoking a cigar. These depictions are consistent with the 1920s setting and are not the focus of the plot.
Frightening Scenes
The film contains several intense sequences involving rotting corpses, swarms of insects, and frightening supernatural entities. Some jump scares and creepy imagery may be too intense for younger or more sensitive viewers.
