violence
Strong violence, in both real world and supernatural contexts, features beatings, head butts, attacks with bottles, stabbings and throat-cuttings, which result in bloodshed.
language
There is strong language (‘f**k’), as well as milder terms such as ‘bitch’, ‘whore’, ‘bloody’, ‘shit’, ‘piss’, ‘bastard’ and ‘bugger’.
injury detail
Moments of strong, gory horror include images of a bloody human heart being smeared over the bodies of dancing women, maggots crawling from deep cuts on a man’s legs, and a dead man whose chest has been ripped open.
nudity
There are scenes in which bare-breasted women wearing body paint dance as part of an occult ritual.
A character in psychological distress throws themself through a window to their death, in undetailed fashion. There is moderate threat. There are moderate sex references. There is brief sexist behaviour.
