Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- After a man handcuffs a woman in bed, he then begins to assault her. He is later said to have raped her although not shown.
Violence & Gore

- The main antagonist is pulled to the bottom of the lake where he presumably drowns.
- A man handcuffs a woman to a bed, dislocates her shoulder and bites a chunk of flesh from her cheek. He is shown from a distance repeatedly punching the woman. Very bloody, but only shown briefly (As mentioned above, we are told that the woman was raped afterwards but it is only mentioned, not shown).
- A man is strangled with piano wire, shown with blood trickling down his throat. He attempts to raise a revolver, but the attacker moves it to his victim and fires. This is shown offscreen, but with a very large amount of blood and brain matter spraying briefly onto the killers face and onto the walls and the ceiling, this scene is extremely bloody.
- Two dead people are found, both with large pools of blood around them. The camera shows a brief close up of a wound inflicted by piano wire of one. A man slips and falls in one of the pools of blood.
- A man is set on fire with lighter fluid. He is shown later with grotesque wounds inflicted on his face by the flames.
