Profanity includes "f_ck," "sh_t," and "bastard" alongside milder language such as "b_tch," "a_s," and "crap."

Drinking, Drugs & Smoking Mild
2/5

Alcohol and tobacco use appear throughout. Characters are drugged on occasion.

Violence & Scariness Heavy
4/5

Violence is graphic and frequent. Characters are beaten and thrown around rooms with their heads bashed against surfaces. A ghoul is stabbed in the eye with a knife and another is stabbed in the stomach and chest with blood spraying. A ghoul savagely twists his own foot, spraying blood. A character has their fingers and toes amputated during a torture scene, shown offscreen. A bloody corpse is pressed against a fish tank. A female ghoul is brutally executed in front of her child. Ghouls are shown eating human bodies.

Sex, Romance & Nudity Mild
2/5

Sexual content is mild to moderate. Verbal references to implied sexual activity appear occasionally. A man's buttocks are briefly visible while bathing, and a nude woman hugging a man from behind shows both their buttocks and some of her side. Women occasionally wear revealing outfits with noticeable cleavage. In one scene, a woman crushes a man's testicles with her feet.
