Violence & Gore

  • Although not particularly graphic, members of the cast often appear with blood on their clothes after a killing.
  • A man goes behind a woman stabs a woman to death. You only see her shadowed silhouette as he plunges the knife into her. Then we see blood spray all over the man's face as he stabs over and over and a sheet soaked with blood is shown.
  • Two young boys commit murder by hacking a person with an axe.
  • A man pulls a gun from a drawer, puts it to his head, and we then hear the gunshot (but don't see anything but it counts as suicide).
  • The father's next victim, a large man, turns when the father is ready to strike him and hits the father instead. The kid then hits that man on the head, allowing the father to then hit him as well. We then see that they have this man bound with blood and gagged down in their cellar.
  • A little boy drives an ax into a man's chest (fatally wounding him and the axe sticks on it). His brother then runs up and kills a man with the ax (we don't see the impact).
  • We see a young man coming up behind another young man and then hear the impact of the first killing the second, but don't see it.
  • A man does something to hurt another man, carries him around his shoulder and then throws him down into a grave. He then raises an ax and apparently kills the man with it. We then see his ID found soaked with blood
  • Some flashbacks involving the sins of the victims such as a woman sleeping next to a man with a gape of blood on his throat implied that she killed her and an old man luring a little girl into his car and killing her then dragging her out.
  • A man goes behind another man and hits him in the head with a pipe (we don't see the impact)
  • Some pictures of the grisly victims are shown on a newspaper in the opening credits.
  • A boy buries the corpses of victims in a rose garden and digs
  • A man grabs his son and throws him under the shed as a punishment until he sees god
  • A man grabs a body wrapped and brings it to a shed, the woman is seen gagged and crying the man then drives an axe and we see the boys watch in horror (No impact)
  • The father hits another victim on the head, but we don't see the impact. Later, he is strapped and gagged on a chair and we hear the impact of him hitting the man with an ax, but we don't see it (although his boys do).
  • We hear the impact of a man being hit with an ax and then see him fall down some stairs into a cellar. We then hear another impact of the ax.

Profanity

  • 6 "f" words (4 are muffled by a character with tape over his mouth), 1 "s" word, 2 slang terms for breasts ("t*ts"), 3 damns, 2 S.O.B.s, 3 uses of "G-damn" and 1 use each of "Jesus Christ" and "Oh my God" as exclamations.
