violence
A child is thrown, breaking his arm. Characters slap each other.
threat and horror
The build-up to the film's central murders is quite tense, although the killings are not shown, only the aftermath. The murderer is seen with a bow and arrows as he locks the school's doors. It is implied that a disturbed boy has killed a pet.
language
There is a single use of very strong language ('c**t'), as well as occasional strong language ('f**k') and milder terms, including 'bitch' and 'retard'.
sex
There are some strong and potentially disturbing sexual scenes, including a young boy watching his parents as they have sex and a boy continuing to masturbate even though his mother has walked in on him. There are also some verbal sex references.
drugs
There is a brief verbal reference to drugs.
injury detail
There is sight of dead children, following a massacre in a school, lying with arrows embedded in them and blood on the sheets covering them as they are taken away.
nudity
Pornographic images are seen on a computer, although there is no strong detail beyond sexualised nudity and posing.
alcohol and tobacco
Adult characters drink.
