The Lovely Bones

violence
A character is attacked and beaten with fists and a baseball bat.
disturbing images
Scenes show the murderer watching and pusuing his victim. He lures her into an underground den. A scene shows the murderer cleaning up after his crime. This contains images of muddy clothing and a sink with traces of blood, as well as a shot of the razor used as the murder weapon. There are images of the bodies of the killer's previous victims and, although tonally disturbing, the injury detail is relatively discreet. A scene shows the killer placing a sack containing Susie's body inside a large safe.
theme
The film is about a girl who was murdered. There are references to her murder and also to the history of her murderer and his previous similar crimes.
additional issues
There is infrequent strong language ('f**k'). Other language in the film includes uses of 'moron', 'crap', ''jerk off' and 'piss off'.
