Sex & Nudity
-
- Sex: Couple make love, but not in graphic detail. The woman's breasts are shown briefly.
- A significantly older man marries a teenage girl. He is seen aggressively kissing her neck and chest, then lying her down on a bed while she moans suggestively. Her breasts are seen briefly. Sex is implied; the camera focuses on her face as she cries, while off-camera, the man remarks that there is no blood.
- A girl has her period onscreen; blood is seen dripping onto flowers.
- A woman drops a live fish down the front of her own dress.
- Valerie runs around in a white nightgown which often falls down in one scene, revealing her shoulders and breasts.
- An elderly character wears a white dress, which is seen at one point split up one side of it.
- A woman in a white dress lies atop a large, fallen-down tree, laughing and appearing to have an orgasm.
- A lecherous priest mentions that he wants to "bless the breasts and laps" of all girls who haven't sinned.
- A missionary tells Valerie that he once attempted to convert a girl to his faith (where she "expressed talent in the missionary tent"), after which she "committed sin" and disappeared in France". The missionary offers to show Valerie what he means someday.
Violence & Gore
-
- There is an attempted sexual assault toward a young girl. The scene is brief and not too graphic but may be disturbing to some.
- A man is seen hanged from a window by a rope.
- Polecat/vampire falls after Orlik drags a ladder out from under his feet. The character appears to be unharmed by this.
- Orlik is tortured for disobeying Polecat in a number of scenes; in one scene, he is shackled to a fountain in the town square. In another scene, he is tied down to a stake and left in the middle of a waterfall. In both scenes, he is rescued by Valerie.
- A man comes at another man, wielding a sharp knife and attempting to stab him.
- An elderly woman is whipped repeatedly, which greatly upsets another character who is made to witness it.
- Blood is seen dripping onto flowers.
- A number of scenes of animal violence/death: A live fish is grabbed and passed around by multiple girls. A weasel (Polecat) skin is nailed to a wall. A gutted pig roasts on a spit and has chunks of skin removed to be eaten. A number of deceased chickens are seen in various moments. Valerie bites a live chicken and gives the blood to Polecat. Most of this is not particularly gory.
- Elements of vampirism; multiple people are seen in coffins, some with blood on their hands and cobwebs surrounding them. Many of these characters have ugly, yellow teeth and attempt to bite other characters. One man drinks the blood of multiple live chickens.
Profanity
-
- One usage of "damn".
- "bitch(es)" is said once in the English subtitled version of the film.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Alcohol: Drinking of wine, but not to excess.
- Smoking: Brief depiction of cigar smoking.
- Drugs: None
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- There are a number of trippy, confusing sexual scenes, particularly towards the end of the film, which can be disturbing.
- Some of the imagery is gruesome and visually unappealing, in particular some characters with extremely pallid skin and sharp teeth, and one character wearing a bizarre animal mask. This may frighten some viewers.
Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- A man attempts to sexually assault Valerie. A woman appears sexually interested in Valerie; that night they lay down in bed together, they are later shown asleep with the woman's hand on Valerie's clothed breast.
- Valerie is disgusted to learn that Orlik, the boy whom she had a crush on, may be her estranged brother. The film is ambiguous as to whether or not Orlik is truly Valerie's brother (it is implied that this was a falsehood made up by Polecat to keep Valerie from falling in love with Orlik), although the only thing which Valerie and Orlik ever really do is hug and attempt to kiss each other.
- The ending scene features Valerie coming across every character from the film, even the antagonistic Polecat (who now appears friendly and benevolent), most of whom are kissing and hugging. Some background characters fondle each other.
Violence & Gore
- A man tells a woman that he plans to cut out the heart of his son, Orlik, and place it in Valerie's chest so that she will be immortal. Valerie is visibly upset by this (she overhears it while in hiding), and expresses her regret at deserting Orlik.
- Valerie's grandmother passes away onscreen; she is seen clutching her pearls and falling back on a bed.
- Valerie is tied to a stake in the town square and set on fire, but escapes after eating a magical earring that protects her from death.
- Polecat screams and clutches at the floor, exclaiming that he is dying. Valerie saves his life, but then he attempts to molest her and she escapes him.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- Valerie is pursued by multiple male characters, many of whom are heavily suggested to be versions of the same Polecat antagonist. Some of them chase her, corner her and attempt to assault her, which she does not want; in one scene she screams and tries to break away.
