violence
Scenes of strong violence occur, including stabbings, slashings, impactful blows and use of a bow and arrows. During an intense fight sequence, a woman repeatedly stabs her assailant out of frame, with accompanying blood splatter. A woman stabs a man in his groin, however, this takes place during a darkly lit scene. There is sight of blood on characters' faces and bodies in the aftermath of violence.
threat and horror
There are sustained scenes of strong threat involving a home invasion. Villainous characters terrorise the occupants of a house, shoot arrows at them and attempt to gain entry. However, there is a focus on hero characters relying on their bravery and resourcefulness to get out of the situation.
language
There is infrequent very strong language (‘c**t’). Occasional strong language ('f**k') also occurs, as well as moderate bad language ('bitch', ‘cock’) and milder terms such as 'tits', ‘dick’, 'shit', 'bullshit', 'asshole', 'God', 'hell' and 'damn'.
sexual violence and sexual threat
There are occasional moments of sexual threat in which a group of unsympathetic male characters verbally threaten women with sexual violence. There is a focus on the victims’ distress, however, the perpetrators receive negative consequences for their behaviour.
additional issues
Moderate sex references occur, including those which discuss masturbation and intercourse. There is infrequent sight of crude penis-shaped inflatable toys and food at a hen party. An unlikeable character makes racially offensive comments to Black and Asian women, but this is infrequent and racism is not endorsed by the work as a whole. References are made to the protagonist's alcohol addiction.
