3 of 5 found this mild
Some cursing like "damn" and "hell."
A character says the "n" word at one point in passing. Its meant in a non - derogatory way, and is in reference to a picture in a game.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Mild
2 of 4 found this mild
The overall all atmosphere of the film is foreboding and surreal like a nightmare. Especially towards the end, the film becomes more intense and violent as it leads into the bizarre climax.
