Sex & Nudity

Mild
5 of 8 found this mild
A character showers naked; her breasts can be seem very briefly. She makes love with a man briefly. Both are fully naked but he is lying on top of her and they are seen from the side; modesty is preserved. A character is prepared for sacrifice. She wears only a cloth shroud, through which her nipples and pubic hair can be seen.

Violence & Gore

Moderate
2 of 2 found this moderate
Vampires feed on humans. A device similar to that used to milk cows is used - placed on the neck it drains them of blood. Some give blood in the more traditional way, by biting the neck. One has their neck cut first with a scalpel. Large machines process huge volumes of blood. Blood pours from a shower. In a dream sequence a woman is replaced with a melting wax character - not meant to be convincing, but gruesome.
