violence
A man is struck across the face with pickaxe and a character is stabbed in the back with a sharp implement, resulting in bloody aftermath detail. However, these scenes lack any strong visual detail. An unseen assailant intentionally rams their vehicle into the back of a car, causing it to teeter over the edge of a cliff and fall into a quarry. Verbal references are made to murder within the context of a criminal investigation.
threat and horror
Characters investigate the sound of hushed voices coming from a basement. During a brief flashback sequence, a man attempts to scare a pair of children by locking them inside the basement of a funeral home. A person becomes increasingly distressed during a chase sequence.
injury detail
Dead people are shown with moderately blood-stained faces in the immediate aftermath of murder. Characters discover a decomposed corpse and a dead body floating in the water.
There are visual and verbal references to extra-marital affairs. A woman asks a man if he would like to “make love” to her; this is accompanied by mild sexualised focus on her body. Undetailed references are made to a person having a mental health crisis.
