Distributor:
Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures UK
violence
Scenes of violence include a man being run over repeatedly, and a shooting resulting in some bloody detail. Sequences feature controlling and abusive behaviour.
threat and horror
Scenes include gun threat, disturbing and sinister behaviour, and people being locked into a sauna as part of a cult ritual.
language
There is use of strong language ('f**k') and milder terms including 'pussy', 'cock', 'bitch', 'shit' and 'crap'.
sex
There are scenes of strong sex, including a brief sequence showing two couples engaging in group sex involving different sex acts and positions. There are occasional sex references.
drugs
It is implied a man has been drugging his partner in order to instigate miscarriages. Another man drugs a woman to render her unconscious.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A sequence of sexual violence includes nudity and a build-up of sexual threat, in which a woman's former partner drugs and rapes her. She is then blamed for allowing the attack to happen. In another story, it is revealed a man is in thrall to another man who dictates when the former can have sex. The subjected man has also been causing his wife to miscarry without her knowledge.
suicide and self-harm
People hurt themselves and others out of loyalty to a controlling personality. A woman cuts off her own thumb, and later cuts out her liver, during a disturbing display of loyalty to her partner. A woman takes her own life within a fantastical context. A dog is seen hanging from the neck as an allusion to suicide during a fantasy scene.
injury detail
There are occasional gory and bloody images, including of a severed thumb and a woman's liver after she has cut it from her body. Bloody detail is also seen in the aftermath of a car crash, and in a scene of implied cannibalism.
nudity
Scenes include full frontal male and female nudity, including in sexualised contexts.
disturbing images
A woman cuts a dog's leg, but no actual animal cruelty appears to have occured. In a montage of dogs behaving like humans, a dead dog is seen hanging from the neck. There are also disturbing scenes of implied cannibalism, bloodied water in the aftermath of a miscarriage, and people harming themselves and others as an act of loyalty to a controlling personality. After a man is shot, another man attempts to lick blood from the wound.
flashing/flickering lights
