Cuts:
This work had a compulsory cut made. A cut was required to remove a foreign rating card. Cut made in accordance with BBFC policy.
violence
Strong violence includes a scene in which a character uses telekinesis to skewer another person through the hands and torso with knives and other sharp implements, resulting in bloody detail. A teenage girl is physically and psychologically abused by her mother, who locks her in a cupboard and later attacks her with a knife. Another teenager is repeatedly slapped by her boyfriend. There are sustained and upsetting scenes of school bullying. It is implied that a pig is killed with a mallet below frame.
threat and horror
There are strong scenes of horror and threat, including infrequent ‘jump scare’ moments. A character uses supernatural powers to trap terrified people in a burning building, resulting in their deaths. A teenager becomes extremely distressed after unexpectedly experiencing her first period whilst taking a communal shower, whereupon she is cruelly tormented and bullied by her classmates.
language
There is infrequent use of strong language (‘f**k’). Milder terms include ‘pussy’, ‘bitch’, ‘tits’, ‘shit’ and ‘ass’.
sex
Infrequent moderate sex references include a sequence in which a teenager bends over her boyfriend’s lap in a car, establishing off-screen oral sex.
discrimination
A fanatically religious woman repeatedly castigates her daughter according to her beliefs that women are inherently sinful. The woman accuses her daughter of having ‘lustful thoughts’ and refers to the girl’s breasts as ‘dirty pillows’.
suicide and self-harm
A person in a state of distress scratches their own face, leaving thin bloody cuts. There are brief non-graphic references to suicide.
injury detail
Bullies pour a bucket of pig’s blood over their victim, resulting in strong bloody images in this and subsequent scenes. Other scenes feature moderate bloody injury detail in the context of violence.
nudity
A scene set in a high-school girls’ changing room contains full-frontal, breast and rear nudity. There is visual focus on a teenager's bare breasts, stomach and thighs as she washes herself in the shower.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy
