The heroine's cleavage is on display in at least one scene.

One or two mentions of eroticism and/or innuendo.

No sex or nudity.

The hero kisses his lady love a few times. They begin to kiss passionately, and he unties the strings on the front of her dress, but they stop.

A man is sliced in half with a lowering, swinging blade - graphic detail seen including blood. This scene is very disturbing as the man is awake and you hear his screams as the blade cuts through him.

A man's throat is sliced.

We see several bloody, mangled corpses, including one of a 12-year-old girl (strangled).

There are guns and shooting.

One of the main characters is shot in the shoulder, and he howls in pain as a doctor digs for the bullet with a knife.

A cadaver is tortured.

We also see a dead cat, a dead raven, a human heart (being eaten by a raccoon), and a human tongue.

Several scenes of characters being punched and beaten.

A man dissects a human heart in his study

Extremely grisly murders, with gallons of spurting, gurgling blood.

One "f---ing,". Other words include "s--t," "damn," "bastard," "son of a bitch," "hell," "twat," "whore," "piss," "goddamn," and "oh my God."

Poe's also seen smoking cigarettes, and he's referred to as an "opium addict", though drugs are never shown.

Some social drinking.

Poe is shown to be an alcoholic. He drinks a lot -- mostly brandy and whisky -- though he's not always drunk (when he is, he's belligerent and abrasive).

Lots of violent, intense scenes.
