The content of this page was created directly by users and has not been screened or verified by IMDb staff.
Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

Two ghosts make moaning noises that a girl mistakenly thinks is her parents during intercourse.

A scene is shown in which the title character mentions that he hasn't gotten any "action" in 600 years, and then visits a brothel staffed by devil women who are scantily clad.

A ghost tries to look up a girl's skirt.

A ghost caresses a dead girl's thigh.

Violence & Gore

Comical violence throughout; including decapitation, suicide, grotesque images and some blood use. Funny, but quite gruesome.

A woman rips her face off, and her eyeballs hang from their sockets.

Two characters are killed, but it occurs off-screen and is not graphic.

Profanity

Some coarse language, including 1 use of the word 'f--king', and several uses of moderate language.

Overall smoking is depicted as an act which leads to a violent and unpleasant death. A ghost woman who was a smoker in life has a tracheotomy wound in her neck and blows the smoke from her cigarettes through it. Another ghost is depicted as a horrible charred skeleton/body, the implication being that he burned to death when a cigarette caught his bed on fire.

Constant references to death & the afterlife, including depictions of dead characters, ghosts & other creatures which may frighten or upset younger viewers.
