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.
threat and horror
There is sustained strong threat throughout, with occasional 'jump scare' moments. A serial murderer kidnaps and imprisons terrified victims before lowering them, in prolonged, ritualistic fashion, into shark-infested waters. In one scene, the killer intimidates a female victim by leaning into her personal space, stroking her hair and kissing her hand.

There is use of strong language (‘f**k’, ‘motherf**ker’). Milder terms include ‘wanker’, ‘dick’, ‘shit’, ‘bloody’, ‘asshole’ and ‘piss’.
sex
A strong sex scene features vigorous riding detail and brief rear nudity.
drugs
Two people share a joint after having sex.
injury detail
There are gruesome images of blood, severed body parts, and a gory mutilated corpse. A person is forced to bite off their own thumb in order to escape handcuffs.
