violence
The stranglings of two women from different time periods are shown simultaneously. A man is struck a fatal blow to the chest with a pickaxe. There are also off-screen stabbings and shootings, accompanied by terrified screams.
injury detail
The body of the victim of a brutal off-screen stabbing is found on a bed with heavily-bloodied face and clothing. A man sustains a bloody cut to his leg after falling through the rotting boards of a wooden footbridge.
additional issues
There is moderate bad language ('bitch'), as well as milder terms such as 'slut', 'bastard' and 'God'. There is moderate threat, some of which is of a supernatural nature, and jump scares. There are moderate sex references, including a woman making a taunting suggestion to her brother that his feelings for her may not be of a sibling nature. There are references to mental illness.
