WHEN DARKNESS FALLS is a British horror thriller in which two female friends trekking through the Scottish Highlands draw the attention of a pair of men targeting young women for their own sinister purposes.

violence
There are bloody stabbings, shootings and bludgeonings, with a character striking another repeatedly over the head with a crowbar. There is hand to hand fighting involving headbutts, punches, knees and choking, along with the use of other improvised blunt weapons; some of this violence is directed by men toward female characters.
sexual violence and sexual threat
Two men talk about drugging and kidnapping women in order to rape them; we see them spike a woman's drink in a pub. There are scenes of frightened, terrorised women being chased on foot by these attackers. One is pinned to the ground and has her top ripped open, exposing her bra; her assailant cuts her face with a knife before being fought off. A man talks about taking possession of a young woman he intends to subject to sexual violence.
injury detail
Blood spills from a character's mouth and stomach in the aftermath of a stabbing; we also see his intestines partially spill from his belly. There are other larger spurts and splashes of blood in the aftermath of violence, as well as close up detail of bloody facial cuts and slashings.
additional issues
There are scenes of gun and knife threat. Characters are chased and terrorised by others in darkened and secluded settings. There is strong language ('f**k') along with milder terms such as 'bitch', 'prick', 'wank', 'shit', 'ass', 'asshole', 'bollocks', 'dick', 'dickhead', 'piss', 'Jesus' and 'hell'. News reports make undetailed references to drug dealing. A woman poses in her underwear in a sexualised way. There are undetailed verbal references to masturbation and sexual intercourse.
