This is an especially troubling horror film in that "evil" triumphs, or at least the antagonists with lethal designs on the main character carry out their plans successfully. There is just a hint at the end that their punishment lies down the road. The hero is depicted as a firm, upstanding, and devoted Christian, though some of those very traits drag him to his fate.

Some tussling. A man is knocked out and tied up. A fire kills another (along with some animals), but little is shown directly.

Nudity (mostly female) in fertility rites, outdoor lovemaking, and a woman surprised in the bathtub. Frank talk about sexual symbolism, and topiary hedges that look like male genitalia. Bawdy singing.

Some profanity.

Advertising is one curse the cultists of Summerisle didn't rediscover!

Social drinking; repeat visits to a jolly British pub.
