The amount and intensity of blood, gore and violence in this movie actually surprised me a lot.

A man gets shot in the chest with an arrow then shot in the face.

A man falls down a shaft breaking his back. He gets pulled up out of the shaft (still alive) and his legs are violently damamged.

A child gets shot on screen (very little blood though).

The man with the broken back has to have his legs amputated with a hunting knife. This scene is VERY intense. Pretty much everything is shown from the boulder being used to break the bones in two to the legs being cut off to the scalding pan used to seal the wounds. The man screams and writhes in pain which makes it all the more intense. Several times later he is shown with his legs severed.

A woman has to have vines cut out of her body. This looks incredibly painful to watch.

The same woman later begins to remove the vines herself and is seen digging in a gaping leg wound tyring to remove the vines. She has several other cuts on her forehead, stomach and arms.

A man is stabbed in the chest (relatively no blood).

A man is shot in the chest with three arrows and then shot in the head (off screen).

A woman covers herself in blood. Various people suffer reasonably deep cuts. Rotting corpses are shown amongst the vines.

21 F-words, 2 scatological terms, name-calling (dork), 1 religious profanity, 4 religious exclamations.

Men and women drink alcoholic beverages, a woman is shown drunk, a man drinks alcohol as an anesthetic, and a man uses alcohol as an antiseptic

Very intense scenes of violence including murder of a child, gunshot to the face, self mutilation, stabbings, attacks by plants and dismemberment. If your child can handle watching all of the above, then they can see it. NOT for the faint of heart
