violence
There are clips of violence from a variety of films. A woman is seen hanging from a cross with knives sticking out of her. A man is executed in an electric chair and another man's ankle is seen being broken with a hammer. A clip from a film includes a scene of domestic abuse in which a man hits his wife with a plank of wood and there are further references to spousal abuse.
threat and horror
Scenes include clips of strong, often macabre horror and threat from famous films such as IT, CARRIE, CREEP SHOW, THE SHINING and SALEM'S LOT. The sequences of horror and threat are often directed at children.
injury detail
Sequences include strong and disturbing bloody images from films such a CARRIE as well as sight of severe injuries, mutilated corpses and bloody wounds. A bloody child's shoe is seen lying in the road after he is hit by a car offscreen.
additional issues
There is a verbal reference to a child being sexually abused by her father. Infrequent use of strong language ('f**k') is accompanied by milder terms such as 'bitch', 'bastard', 'crap', 'piss', 'shit' and 'hell'. References are made to historical racism.
