HELD is a horror thriller in which a married couple are abducted and forced to comply with the bizarre demands of their masked captor.

violence
Scenes of violence include stabbings, and people being electrocuted and hit with shovels, bottles and other improvised weapons. Violence is accompanied by bloody images, and there is also a scene in which a woman uses a knife to cut an implanted device out from underneath her skin, which causes heavy bleeding. There are also scenes of domestic abuse.
threat and horror
A woman finds herself and her husband trapped in a house, in which they are forced to follow the instructions of a masked captor. Disobedience is punished by painful electrical charges administered via a device implanted under the skin. The abductor forces the couple to adopt old-fashioned gender roles. There are scenes of threat throughout, and the woman is chased, drugged and attacked.
sexual violence and sexual threat
Brief flashbacks imply a woman has been raped in the past. While abducted, she is coerced to have sex with her husband; he tries to initiate sex with her, but she is terrified. In another scene, a man gropes and kisses a woman who he believes to be unconscious.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
There are moderate sex references, and there is moderate bad language ('bitch').
