nudity | A woman and her daughter are raped by a group of thuggish samurai. They throw them on the ground and begin to forcefully kiss them. Then the shot switches to a by-standing samurai as he eats, and we hear the women grunting as they are raped. A ghost woman seduces samurai and then kills them. Her breasts and buttocks are seen a few times, briefly--never her pubic region. A man and his wife have sex. They are seen lying on the floor and kissing. It's then implied that they have sex, although it's not explicitly shown. |
violence | A ghost woman after seducing samurai, violently bites their throats until they are bleeding (it's not very explicit however). Every samurai she does this to ends up dead, and we see their corpses lying around in various locations. There are a few sword battles. A man chops a woman's arm off, although there isn't any blood. And the dismembered arm turns into a cat arm. A man recounts the tale of how he conquered a fierce enemy. He then holds up his opponent's decapitated head as proof of his victory. A group of samurai, after raping and killing a woman and her daughter, burn their thatch hut to the ground. |
profanity | Mild terms. I don't really recall, but I know there weren't any f-bombs or worse. |
alcohol | Many characters drink sake. |
frightening | By current standards, the film isn't that frightening. It's very dark and atmospheric at times, definitely not for children, although there aren't many people it would scare. |
