Hatfields & McCoys

Gore is not at horror-movie levels, but the violence depicted is extremely disturbing, i.e. the sudden violent death of family members, young children who discover their father's dead body, wartime casualties (not much blood is shown) including a young boy, a murder that ends up with the deceased stabbed in the crotch, a group of murderers surrounds a sleeping family and shoots into the house, then burns it to the ground.

A forbidden romance fuels much of the resentment between the two families. The young lovers are shown slipping into bed together with implied nudity; later, the woman says it was her "first time." That same character ends up pregnant and abandoned by her family. Married characters are shown kissing and discussing lovemaking in terms that may embarrass some families: "Spill your seed outside me as I cannot bear another birth."

Characters curse frequently and colorfully: "Go piss on your Yankee jacket," "those s--theel McCoys." One character is accused for using his dog as a "whore" and "fornicating" with it. Kids may also learn vintage insults and curses like "you're a huckleberry over a persimmon" or "consarn it."

Multiple scenes take place in saloons and the drunken characters make awful decisions. Anse Hatfield chews tobacco and spits brown streams frequently; many characters smoke.
