Sex & Nudity

  • Frequent full-frontal female nudity throughout involving several scenes of sexualisation of Margret Qualley's character in highly revealing outfits with extreme close-ups of buttocks and vagina area.

Violence & Gore

  • High impact blood and gore, injury detail and mutilation including close-ups of grotesque imagery that cannot be described.
  • Confronting scenes of self-harm.
  • Perhaps one of the goriest movies ever made. Extremely high detail and not for anyone with a weak stomach.

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • The most graphic detailed drug use in a film ever. Frequent close-ups of injections and highly disturbing including an instance where it is infected and still injected.
  • Constant injection use of a fictional drug with extreme close-ups.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • High impact injury detail, drug use and nudity.
  • Most of the film is pretty intense but the final 15-20 minutes is extremely nauseating and anxiety-inducing.
  • A lot of terrifying SFX, sound design and camera shots to make everything sound and look extra grotesque.

Spoilers
