Santa Sangre
Movie • 1989 • Horror
ReportSynopsis
A young man is confined in a mental hospital. Through a flashback we see that he was traumatized as a child, when he and his family were circus performers: he saw his father cut off the arms of his mother, a religious fanatic and leader of the heretical church of Santa Sangre ("Holy Blood"), and then commit suicide. Back in the present, he escapes and rejoins his surviving and armless mother.

There is an elephant in a circus. We don't see it being hit or mistreated, but this may be triggering.

An elephant dies, but it’s clearly a very much alive elephant lying next to fake blood. I think it’s even eating something.

There are a lot of clowns, but they’re more of the stylized old circus clowns, and they’re all friends of the protagonist. Nothing scary.

A couple of scenes of implied sex and some nudity, but you never actually see any dingalings. You do see bare b*****s though. And pubic hair.

I think this is supposed to be a horror film, but it could be PG-13. Lots of fake blood, but none of it looks real. There is stabbing, but you can tell the knives are fake.
