Is it scary or upsetting?


Hey! I got this movie for my birthday and my little sister wants to watch it because she is studying french. I havent watched it yet and as she is only 10 I thought I would check to see if there are any scenes that might frighten or upset her. What do u think?? Thank you so much :)

This is NOT for young children. There is gore, violence and nudity.

For a young person learning French, I would recommend La Gloire De Mon Père http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099669/, and its sequel, Le Château De Ma Mère http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099266/.

Assuming you're not a troll, this is not really suitable at all. There's horror, violence, nudity and sex. Throw in drugs and you'd have a full house.

There were drugs in the movie. Mani and D'Apacher did magic mushrooms in order to "listen to the trees" before the hunt, and Sylvia drugged Fronsac to fake his death.

Ahahaha, true enough. Can't believe I forgot that.

That depends. How mature is she?

The film isn't "SCARY" in the way that say, "Halloween" or "Scream" are. The horror label comes from the monster movie part of it.

The film is violent, but it's mostly martial arts and some swordplay. Labelling it as "STRONG violence gives the impression that it's intense, but it's not.

There are some scenes that are pretty gory, but they're short and brief.

There's no real sex or nudity save for a scene in a brothel (but it's not very explicit).

Honestly, I'd be wary of letting a 10 year old see this movie. For once, the film deserves the R rating it got. If she wants to see a french movie, there are others that she could watch (I can't think of any off the top of my head though).

My advice? Watch it first, because you know your sister better than i do.

depends. i grew up watching conan the barbarian, excalibur, the road warrior, aliens, and the breakfast club... lots of violence, nudity, gore, swearing, etc... my parents never made a big deal of it.
it really depnds on what upsets or scares her. and wouldn't a kid do well to get scared once in a while anyways?
