Sex & Nudity

  • A woman is seen taking a shower. She is nude from the rear and her buttocks are visible. When she steps into her bedroom and removes her towel, the actress takes care to keep her breasts out of shot.
  • As a woman lies in bed, the covers are pulled off her body by an invisible force. She is nude, but her hands cover her breasts and her legs are in the way of her pubic area being shown.
  • A man and woman make love on a couch. The man is seen on top, with his buttocks briefly exposed. Brief moaning, but no thrusting.
  • A child dry humps his mother for a couple seconds before she stops him. Unsettling.

Violence & Gore

  • Some bloody violence but nothing too graphic.
  • A man is killed from a pickaxe blow to the chest. Offscreen but bloody. Blood drips from his mouth and from the wound.
  • A man's throat is slit with a box cutter. This is offscreen, but you hear the slitting noice and the man's screams in pain; you also see the bloody box cutter and the man's bloody wound.
  • In a creepy and unsettling scene, while his mother is sleeping, one of the son's hands turns into a bloody, grey, bruised hand, which he uses to caress her face.

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A woman is seen smoking.
  • A man puts drops of something into a glass of water at least twice and gives it to a woman to drink. It is implied he is drugging her.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The woman has multiple unsettling and scary nightmares.
  • The scariest and most memorable moment in the movie has to be when the woman's son runs across the hall to hug her before he turns into his dead father, who tries to attack her.
  • The woman's son is very creepy. He spies on her and threatens to kill her.
  • A young boy is seen with whitened eyes suggesting possession.
  • Most likely rated R for horror violence, some sexuality and nudity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A filled syringe is shown, in a reference to Dora's junkie first husband. The scene is blurred, as if part of a dream.
