violence
A flashback scene shows a person choking and struggling while being hanged. Occasional moderate violence includes crunchy punches and beatings.
threat and horror
A terrified victim is attacked by a killer in misty woods at night. In another scene, occultists prepare to cut out a person’s heart as a ritual sacrifice.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A strong scene of sexual threat shows a group of men violently restraining a screaming woman; it is implied they gang rape her, though no rape is shown on screen.
injury detail
There is gory sight of large wounds on corpses’ chests, resulting from removal of the victims' hearts. Blood is squeezed from a human heart and smeared over people’s skin during a scene of occult ritual. A detective opens a dead man’s clenched fist by pulling back the fingers, creating loud cracking sounds. We also see bodies hanging from nooses in the aftermath of murders.
additional issues
There is infrequent use of strong language (‘f**k’); milder terms include ‘bastard’, ‘God’ and ‘Christ’. There is a scene of suicide, without strong visual detail, in addition to moderate references to suicide. Other issues include infrequent moderate sex references, and scenes of emotional upset.
