WOMAN OF THE HOUR is a US crime thriller set in the 1970s and based on a true story of a serial killer who becomes a contestant on a dating show to meet his next intended victim.

threat and horror
There are sustained scenes of strong threat when a serial killer stalks, attacks and kills his female victims. In one scene he brings a woman to a desert, pretending to be a photographer, where he chases her and tackles her to the ground. In another scene he attacks a woman in her home. Later he follows and chases a woman in a car park at night.
language
The film features infrequent very strong language ('c**t') and strong language ('f**k') along with milder terms such as 'pussy', 'shit' and 'asshole'.
sexual violence and sexual threat
There is a scene of sexual threat when a man drags a woman on the ground as she screams. Later a victim of sexual violence wakes from being unconscious with her trousers around her ankles. There is no focus on nudity or sexual detail. There are also scenes in which a character who reports sexual violence is ignored by various authority figures.
additional issues
A man attacking a woman grips her neck, which is briefly shown in close up. There is also brief focus on the photograph of a murder victim, taken by her killer; the victim has bloody slashes across her face and chest. Characters are shown smoking cannabis. Sexist behaviour occurs within the film's 1970s setting, and is not endorsed by the film. There are also undetailed verbal references to oral sex.
