Profanity

  • The word "f*ggot" is used (in the Russian version)
  • Frequent use of the f word and derivatives. Other milder swear words are used frequently as well.

  • Alcohol drinking.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The whole movie is shot in a very dark style. It is very low-budget, which makes the shootings look more gritty and realistic. A lot of killings happen off screen, but neverthelss seem realistic and disturbing. Though not much blood is shown, the killings usually happen very fast, they are not asthetisized or always explained/justified.
