The following FAQ entries may contain spoilers. Only the biggest ones (if any) will be covered with spoiler tags. It is assumed that no one who is diligently avoiding spoilers will be visiting this page in the first place.

For detailed information about the amounts and types of (a) sex and nudity, (b) violence and gore, (c) profanity, (d) alcohol, drugs, and smoking, and (e) frightening and intense scenes in this movie, consult the IMDbs Parents Guide for this movie.

The song in the first half is "Ebben?" by Alfredo Catalani.

The song in the second half is "In The Hall Of The Mountain King" by Edvard Grieg.

The song in the restricted trailer is "Mutilation is the Most Sincere Form of Flattery" by Marilyn Manson.

If you're looking for the experimental song, it's made of two songs: "Bonehead" and "Hellraiser" by John Zorn's experimental jazz band Naked City. The noisy moments from both are spliced together and the jazzier moments cut.

In this scene, "Paul" asks Anne to play a game called "The Loving Wife" in which Anne is responsible for deciding on how her husband, George, will die. She has the option to select the knife or the gun but first Anne has to say a prayer without any mistakes. After she does, he says that she now has to say the prayer backwards without any mistakes before she can make her decision. While he is explaining it to her she quickly grabs the rifle and shoots "Peter". "Paul" reacts by taking the gun away from her and hitting her with it and in a fit of frustration, begins searching for the remote control for the T.V. When he finds it he presses rewind and the scene rewinds all the way back to when he told her to say the prayer backwards only this time when she goes to grab the gun, he grabs it first and takes it away.

In this scene, we learn that "Paul" (and probably "Peter" too) are in complete control of what goes on in the movie. And that even though they are frequently insisting that their victims obey the rules of their games, they are themselves cheaters.
