violence
There are shootings and a brutal biting, with accompanying sight of blood gushing from wounds.
threat and horror
There are sustained and suspenseful scenes of strong threat in which an armed character chases and stalks another person. Characters are threatened with knife violence during tense scenes.
language
Infrequent very strong language ('c**t') is accompanied by more frequent use of strong language ('f**k', 'motherf**ker'), as well as moderate ('pussy', 'bitch') and milder terms such as 'bullshit', 'God' and 'damn'.
sex
Strong visual and verbal references are made to casual sex and BDSM.
drugs
There are scenes of cocaine snorting. A woman drugs a man with ketamine, inducing temporary muscle paralysis. Drug misuse is clearly not condoned by the film as a whole.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A man violently chokes a restrained woman in bed and verbally threatens her with sexual violence, causing the woman to become increasingly distressed. However, it subsequently emerges that they are participating in an erotic asphyxiation roleplay with clearly established boundaries.
injury detail
A character chews and spits out a bloody chunk of flesh. There is close-up sight of a mutilated chest in the aftermath of violence.
alcohol and smoking
Adults are shown smoking cigarettes, vaping and drinking alcohol.
