The Crazy Family

sexual violence and sexual threat

A girl is tied up, gagged and threatened with rape by her grandfather and brother after their mental health causes them to behave erratically. The grandfather also holds up and examines her underwear after he discovers it in the washing.

A man attacks his wife and son by hitting and punching them, resulting in bloody aftermath detail. There are other moments of strong violence including a man being stabbed with a fork and fights using large household and building appliances. Scenes of strong threat include a father forcibly entering his terrified daughter's bedroom and chasing her around the room with a large drill. A young girl attempts to hang herself but is quickly stopped before she comes to any harm. In a sequence of self-harm, a teenage boy deliberately and repeatedly stabs himself in the thigh and there is sight of his bloody clothing. Use of strong language ('f**k') is accompanied by moderate ('whore') as well as milder terms such as 'bugger' and 'crap'. There is use of the discriminatory term 'faggot'. Moderate injury detail includes sight of burns in the aftermath of an explosion and occasional bloody images. Frequent references are made to various characters' declining mental health. Moderate sex references occur.
