violence
Scenes of strong violence include a man being repeatedly bludgeoned around the head with a bat and people having their arms and legs snapped; many of these impacts are hidden from sight. A man is stabbed in the neck, but the wound is hidden. A woman is grabbed by the hair and pushed forcefully into a locker. A man is asphyxiated with a sponge and later has boiling water poured over him; we hear his screams but do not see his injury.
threat and horror
Characters are trapped in confined spaces with a brutal killer pursuing them. We see people grabbed, restrained and threatened with death.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A man drops his trousers in front of a woman and behaves in a sexually coercive way toward her. A security guard is accused of watching women on his video cameras and there are undetailed verbal references to him acting in a sexually abusive way.
injury detail
We see blood flowing through doorways to form pools on the floor, along with the bloodied faces and heads of people in the aftermath of violence. There is sight of clothed limbs broken and bent into unnatural positions.
additional issues
There is mild strong language ('bastard', 'son-of-a-bitch') and milder terms which include 'screw', 'hell' and 'damn'. A man displays sexist attitudes toward female colleagues. There are fleeting, undetailed references to mental health concerns and suicide.
