COMING HOME IN THE DARK is a New Zealand crime thriller in which a schoolteacher must face the brutalities and secrets of his past when he and his family are terrorized by a sinister pair on their road trip.
violence
Characters are shot in scenes which include blood spurting detail. A man is repeatedly beaten with a rock in a scene which includes bloody detail and squelchy sound effects. A man beats a character to death with a fire extinguisher, with brief sight of blood in the aftermath. References are made to child abuse, such as a man scrubbing a child's tattoo from their skin using a wire brush.
threat and horror
There are strong sustained scenes of threat when two armed men terrorise and kidnap a family as they travel through a remote part of New Zealand.
language
The film features infrequent very strong language ('c**t'), strong language ('f**k') and other milder terms ('bloody', 'shit', 'bullshit', 'bastard', 'Jesus', 'Christ', 'damn').
sexual violence and sexual threat
There are references to historic systematic child sexual abuse. A kidnapped character tells their captor 'I hope you got raped'. There are also verbal references to 'kid 'f**king'.
additional issues
A character screams with grief when they realise a loved one has been murdered. In another scene a character jumps from a cliff to evade their captors; it is ambiguous as to whether they survive.
