violence
There are moderate scenes of fantasy violence committed by a possessed car, infrequently resulting in bloody aftermath detail. A boy grabs his father by the throat during a brief physical confrontation.
threat and horror
Several people are stalked, chased and run down by a possessed car, resulting in sustained scenes of threat and occasional ‘jump scare’ moments. A man is crushed to death against the steering wheel when the front seat moves independently, and another person chokes and nearly dies while trapped in the car. In a separate scene, high-school bullies threaten other teenagers with a knife.
language
There is infrequent use of very strong language (‘c**t’), in addition to more frequent strong language (‘f**k’). Milder terms include ‘slut’, ‘bitch’, ‘pussy’, ‘prick’, ‘shit’, ‘bullshit’, ‘turd’, ‘crapper’, ‘bastard’, ‘asshole’, ‘ass’, ‘son of a bitch’, ‘pissed off’, ‘screw’ and ‘douchebag’.
sex
Teen boys make crude comments about their female classmates, including describing one as a ‘walking sperm bank’ and referring to another as having ‘the body of a slut’. There are also references to the smell of ‘pussy’, and to oral sex and ‘getting laid’. A teenage couple briefly grope each other while making out at a drive-in cinema.
discrimination
Teenage boys make crude sexist remarks, and one jokingly calls his friend ‘queer’. There are also brief images of white supporters wearing 'Native American' costumes at a sports event. However, discrimination is not endorsed by the film as a whole.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A teenage boy makes sexually suggestive comments about a female stranger, who ignores him and leaves.
suicide and self-harm
There are infrequent verbal references to a series of apparent suicides. However, it is implied that the deaths may have another - supernatural - explanation.
injury detail
A person removes a large, bloody shard of glass from their own torso in the aftermath of a fantastical car crash.
theme
There are moderate scenes of school bullying, which is clearly criticised.
