None

Violence & Gore

Soldiers are shown firing canons at the water horse.

A large deer/elk is shown lying dead on the ground after being killed by hunters.

SPOILERS: A dog is supposedly eaten by the water horse. Nothing is seen or heard.

Several characters are picked up in the clearly angry water horse's toothy mouth, and flung about.

The water horse puposely capsizes a boat filled with men.

There are no scenes with blood or gore except for minor scratches.

Profanity

3 mild obscenities, name-calling (daft beast, spy, coward, deserter), 3 religious exclamations.

several uses of "bloody".

A man drinks alcohol from a flask, men and women are shown drinking alcohol at a dinner, men are shown drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes in a pub scene, and a woman smokes a cigarette and drinks alcohol. Two men are shown smoking cigarettes.

There are some intense scenes that may frighten and confuse younger children. After bombs are shot at it, the water horse is angry and lashes out at the people in the film, including the young protagonist who does eventually get the creature to recognize him and treat him as his friend. Being a large, loud, "monster-ish" being, these scenes are scary. There is a part of the film where it appears the protagonist, a young boy, has drowned. The bombing scenes are loud and explicit. Men shoot at the creature with automatic weapons.
