Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Smoking: One scene contains cigarette smoking.
  • Drug addicts are mentioned.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The film is mostly devoid of any music, making all of the dark and scary moments even more hard-hitting.
  • The film is intense.
  • The whole film deals with cruel characters who are complete sociopaths.
  • Most of the scenes are tense, and the film shows that cinema doesn't need violence to be frightening
