Violence
This series contains mild violence that is very limited in earlier episodes but builds up later on. Violence mostly happens as a result of witchcraft, with characters being zapped into mummy-like corpses, and people, including children, being put in dangerous situations.
A small group of characters get involved in a brief confrontation where they knock out a few soldiers, but it is dark and no blood is seen.
One dead character is seen with bullet holes in him for a moment, and some blood is shown.
A woman has a flashback of the night her parents died. Though we do not see their bodies, it is a rather sudden and shocking scene.
Frightening scenes
A witch drains the life force from other women, leaving them presumably dead with drained skull-like faces.
A female character manipulates innocent people, which may be unsettling for some viewers.
