violence
A man's stomach is cut open with scissors and his intestines are gorily removed. Other moments of strong bloody violence include stabbings and crossbow shootings. A horse is sliced into bloody cross sections during a fantastical sequence. An abusive man beats his young son with a belt and burns him with an iron in sequences of domestic abuse.
sex
Strong sex references include implied necrophilia and BDSM imagery. A crime scene has slightly out of focus pornographic images displayed on a wall.
sexual violence and sexual threat
Murdered women are arranged to resemble doll-like figures for a killer's sexual gratification; it is implied he masturbates as he hangs suspended by chains over a naked corpse. There are sexualised images of murdered women reanimated and arranged in fetishistic, sometimes sado-masochistic situations in a dreamlike fantasy sequence. There are references to child sexual abuse and a man forces his young son to look at a woman's crotch. A man crawls over a woman as she lies on the floor and chains her by the neck.
additional issues
There is infrequent very strong language ('c**t') as well as strong language ('f**k', 'motherf**ker') and milder terms such as 'bitch', 'whore', 'shit', 'ass', 'Jesus', 'Christ', 'God', 'damn' and 'hell'. Scenes of strong, sustained threat include sadistic death traps imprisoning women, and scenes in which characters face fantastical dangers from monstrous figures while trapped in the mind of a murderer. Dead bodies are found wrapped in plastic and crime scene photos show strong injury detail. There is use of the homophobic term 'faggot', by an abusive man. A woman smokes a joint.
