The Invisible Dr. Mabuse

violence

A man is tortured with a razor blade; this is hidden from view but his screams are heard. There are shootings, stabbings and hand-to-hand fighting which includes punches and choking. A stage musical set during the French Revolution repeatedly shows a woman being decapitated by guillotine; while a severed head is briefly visible, it is clearly fake and the actress appears unharmed immediately afterwards.

threat and horror

Characters are captured and threatened with torture, mind control and death in occasionally intense scenes. A man is trapped in a burning room and screams manically. A woman is drugged and taken captive.

injury detail

There is occasional moderate bloody detail in the aftermath of violence, including sight of a man's face after it has been slashed with a razor blade. A man is revealed to have extensive facial burn injuries.

additional issues: An invisible man stalks a woman he has become obsessed with; at one point he sneaks into her room and kisses her without her consent, causing her to scream. A man and woman flirt with one another. There is very mild bad language ('God') and also brief references to mental health concerns.
