Rated R for some violence and sexuality, including some nudity.
A woman is shown wearing suggestive clothing--she then lifts her skirt to show her underwear and we see bare outer thigh and some of her buttock. She rubs the man's crotch suggestively. Later, we see her undress from behind, showing her entire bare back and butt.
The artwork in the Ninth Gate book is woodcuts, several of which include depictions of topless women, but as woodcuts the level of realism is low.

Some minimal profanity throughout.

| frightening |
The movie involves the attempt to incarnate the prince of darkness. There is considerable tension throughout.
The film has a number of disturbing scenes. The majority of these scenes take place in the last 20-25 minutes of the film. It is a horror thriller after all. The little ones should be tucked and away when you watch this. |
