Repulsion

violence

Scenes include a man repeatedly being hit around the head with a candlestick, resulting in bloody injury detail. His body is then dragged to the bathroom and is seen lying in bloody water in the bath. In another scene, there is sight of a man's neck being slashed with a cut-throat razor. However, the injuries are not particularly detailed or lingered upon and their impact is reduced by the black and white photography. The main character is sexually molested or assaulted by men, although these scenes are discreetly filmed, without nudity or strong detail.

additional issues: The central character experiences disturbing hallucinations, including sight of hands emerging from walls and grabbing at her. In some scenes sexual moaning is heard coming from off screen, although no detail of sexual activity is shown. There are also undetailed verbal references to sex, including a conversation between two men about their sexual conquests in which there is mention of virgins and women "begging for it." There is also use of moderate bad language ('bitch') and milder terms including 'tart' and 'bloody'.
