Message
3/5

Thomas' mother urges him to clear his heart of grief and fill it with courage. The storyline encourages people to question immoral rules and stand up for what they believe.

Role model
2/5

Thomas' mother puts herself at risk to strengthen and protect him. She sacrifices her safety to defend her town. Thomas and Alice believe they can be more peaceful than their hate-filled elders. On the iffier side, a witch's minions are played exclusively by minority actors.

Violence
3/5

Many characters die, some in horrifying ways. Master Gregory kills witches by burning them. The Witch Queen and her cronies turn into their animal familiars and destroy a town, killing many innocent citizens; although there's no blood, residents are burned, crushed, and, in one case, swallowed/eaten. Some confrontations are hand to hand, with weapons like swords, knives, chains, and staffs. Some of the witches fight as their familiars -- dragons, bears, leopards, etc. -- which adds to the violence as they bite, roar, and jump on people.

Sex
3/5

Thomas and Alice flirt from the first time they meet; they kiss passionately several times and eventually make out; the scene then fades into a shot of them lying next to one another, drowsy and embracing. The scene implies that they could have made love, but it's left unclear.

Language
3/5

Sparing, aside from one use of "f--king" (as in "those f--king witches").

Drugs
3/5

Master Gregory is always drinking from a flask; he never goes without it and seems almost like an alcoholic.

Dove Rating

Faith
0/5

None

Sex
3/5

Possible suggestive comment from a woman about what is a man going to do with her once he rescues her; implied sex between a couple seen in bed, although the man appears clothed and the woman's bare shoulder is seen, and they kiss while in bed; kissing scenes between a couple.

Language
3/5

F-1; D-2; H-2; a possible "For G's Sake"-1.

Violence
4/5

Supernatural beings burn and sometimes their skeletons are seen when they are killed; character is burned and the burn and cracked skin is seen; character uses her long fingernail to impale another character and this draws blood; blood seen on a man's shirt; man's shoulder and leg is cut and some blood is seen; several characters die from knives or swords; blade bloodies a man's side; a bit of blood seen on a woman; a few other characters are seen with blood; corpses seen on ground.

Drugs
2/5

Drinking in several scenes including a character seen with a flask more than once; tavern scenes.

Nudity
2/5

Cleavage in a few scenes and a few times it is strong; woman's bare shoulders seen in a swimming pool.

Other
3/5

Character mentions blood cakes, and she eats some that have worms crawling about in them; a few characters are heard but not seen urinating; tension between characters; death and grief; witches and possession of characters, such as that of a ten-year-old, as well as the killing of witches.
