Horror
Two monsters have terrifying appearances. They grow larger in size as the film progresses. They have red eyes, sharp teeth, and claws. When in fits of rage, they often let out a loud roar. In some scenes, we see both monsters wreaking havoc.
A character undergoes a horrifying transformation – we see him grow talons, claws, fangs, and his body morph into a dragon-like monster.
There are different types of monsters: zombies, ghosts, skeletons, mummies, and other creatures.
Violence
Characters often punch and slap each other. In a few scenes, characters throw or smash objects, sometimes at other characters. In one scene, a terrifying large monster tries to attack Dracula and his friends.
Nudity
One character who turns into a human is mostly naked, but we only see their butt. We don’t see any further nudity as it’s mostly covered by objects and later an apron.

A maternity home for unmarried mothers and their children operated between 1925 and 1961 in Tuam, County Galway. In the 21st century, the home became the focus of a national scandal after a forensic excavation uncovered the remains of hundreds of babies and young children, along with illegal adoptions, mistreatment, and systemic neglect. In this film based on based on true events, an amateur historian investigates the horrors that took place there.
