I wouldn't say there was much sex in the movie...certainly not prurient!
But, it's a nice word anyway (good try)...

Prurient also has a more general definition, referring to any excessively unwholesome and perverse preoccupations or desires. Though, as you correctly point out, it is generally used to refer to sexual preoccupations, as being the most common type of "prurient" interest. But, if you think pimping a comatose woman in a hospital bed AND having her bite the tongue out of the john's mouth (and WHAT a tongue at that!), is not "prurient," than what is?
