violence
A woman is deliberately fed to sharks, resulting in strong bloody detail. Further violence includes bloody stabbings and impalements, as well as sequences of suffocation and strangulation.

In one scene, the killer intimidates a female victim by leaning into her personal space, stroking her hair and kissing her hand.

drugs
Two people share a joint after having sex.
