Sex & Nudity

  • Brief shot of woman's bare breasts lasting about 2 seconds.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • A man is implied to be masturbating in a room above where a character is standing. When the other character looks up through the grating in the floor, he sees a tentacle belonging to some kind of sea creature. (This is implied to be a dream or a vision.)
  • A man is shown standing naked in the rain (non sexual) and the way his legs are positioned no nudity is show.
  • A man discovers a naked woman and caresses and explores her face, neck, then breasts. As he moves down, he is startled by first gills and then by her mermaid nether region, a close-up of her vagina is shown however the camera quickly cuts away from her body after this.
  • A man has sex with a mermaid, only his buttocks are briefly visible.

Violence & Gore

  • A man brings up a crab trap from the ocean and opens it to find a man's severed head inside. The head appears to look rotten. More scary than graphic.
  • A man tries to bury another man alive.
  • A man plunges an axe into another man's shoulder. Tons of blood sprays and starts pouring down his body.
  • A man hits another man in the head with a kettle-like object, before putting an axe to his head, presumably killing him (the impact is offscreen). Blood splashes all over another mans face.
  • A man intensely falls down a long spiral staircase. (And is presumably injured.)
  • A man kills a seagull by grabbing it by its neck and smashing it into the ground. Blood spatters each time the seagulls body hits the pavement.
  • Seagulls peck away at a naked and disemboweled man who is also missing an eye. His entire body is covered in blood.
  • In the final shot, a man is shown being gruesomely eaten alive by seagulls.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A person morphs into different humans and creatures. Very weird and scary.
  • A man chases another man through the rain with an axe (but he doesn't intend to kill him).
  • A man forces another man to act like a dog and bark while on a leash and almost buries the man alive.
  • A man violently beats a seagull to death, this is shown in graphic detail. Later in the film he is shown being eaten alive by a flock of seagulls - his organs are shown outside of his body and it appears his eyes are missing or have been heavily mutilated.
