Three questions

Is The Last of the Mohicans scary?
Only a little. The Last of the Mohicans has a few tense moments, nothing that follows you to bed.
How gory is The Last of the Mohicans?
Graphic gore and brutal violence. If graphic gore is a dealbreaker, skip it.
What is The Last of the Mohicans rated, and is it OK for kids?
Moderate sex and nudity, brutal violence, and graphic gore. The R is earned, so not for kids.

What is The Last of the Mohicans about?

In war-torn colonial America, in the midst of a bloody battle between British, the French and Native American allies, the aristocratic daughter of a British Colonel and her party are captured by a group of Huron warriors. Fortunately, a group of three Mohican trappers comes to their rescue.
