violence
Infrequent, yet impactful, shootings are accompanied by brief blood spurts and result in bloody aftermath detail.
threat and horror
The film has a child abduction theme. In the opening sequence, a character slowly drives along quiet streets past children. He lures a lone child towards his car using a puppet, resulting in an implied abduction which takes place off-screen. There is a prolonged and suspenseful sequence in which two people locate a missing child inside a derelict house while under threat from a villainous armed character.
disturbing images
A woman makes a disturbing discovery of a photo album containing images of a dead child lying on a bed. She also comes across further multiple photo albums which are implied to contain similar images. Characters discover a video camera positioned in front of a bathtub and a pair of ankle cuffs attached to a child’s bed inside an abductor’s home.
additional issues
Mild upsetting scenes occur, including a woman tearfully recalling her stillbirth. Moderate bad language (‘son of a bitch’) is accompanied by milder terms such as ‘ass’, ‘bullshit’, ‘shit’, ‘screw up’, ‘hell’, ‘damn’ and ‘God’.
