Parents should know
Moderate violence: men hack and stab villagers, kill a mother and burn a father alive. A mythic period actioner about a tribal community's clash with a greedy kingdom: staged battles, a burning-alive scene, a drunken king, mild romance, and horror-style jump scares in the climax. Also moderate substance use, moderate scary or upsetting scenes, moderate bad language and mild sexual content.
