Sex & Nudity

  • An orgy is shown with many characters naked or nearly naked, and several having sex in the same room. A woman asks "Who is going to fuck me in the ass?" and is then shown on all fours with a champagne glass balanced on her back.
  • Sexual activity is shown during other party scenes e.g. women with bare breasts being fondled.
  • Bare breasts and buttocks shown repeatedly, and brief glimpses of male genitals.
  • A man sunbathes nude on a balcony with a book covering his genitals.
  • Several characters have multiple sexual partners.
  • Charlotte and Robert have sex on a table while clothed and then her young son enters the room although it isn't clear whether he understands what is happening. We see her breast. Thrusting and moaning.
  • A man drags a woman to a bedroom as she screams, and it is strongly implied that he rapes her although we don't see this.

Violence & Gore

  • Cannibalism. A man makes a comment about if he should kill another man's wife and eat her, mentioning that other floors have become desperate and have begun to eat the women.
  • A man finds a torn human ear on the floor.
  • Frequent scenes of fights throughout the film (often involving multiple participants) with punching, kicking and weapons
  • A man punches another man repeatedly in the head.
  • A man is beaten by a group of other men and has a lot of blood on his head and torso during subsequent scenes.
  • A man drags a woman to a bedroom as she screams, and it is strongly implied that he rapes her although we don't see this. In a subsequent scene she has a black eye and cuts to her face.
  • A man jumps from the high rise and his fall is shown in slow motion. We see him impacting a car head first- shown in slow motion - and blood coming from his nose and mouth. Later we see the damaged car after the body has been removed, with large amounts of blood on it.
  • A group of men attempt to throw a man off a high balcony.
  • A man threatens a group of people with a gun, and shoots one of them although this is not very intense compared to the earlier bloody fights.
  • In a visually-distorted scene, a man is repeatedly stabbed.
  • We see the body of a drowned dog, another dog with blood on it after a beating, and a dog's paw being roasted on a spit.
  • People discuss killing a horse to eat it and a man approaches the horse with a knife. We don't see it being killed but we see it being eaten later.
  • A man slaps his wife.
  • Dead bodies are shown, some with bloody injuries
  • In a medical setting, a human head is dissected. We see the face/flesh being pulled away from the tissue/muscle/eyes underneath, and then a hammer-like tool is used to prepare to open the skull.

Profanity

  • "f*ck" and it's variants are used a total of 8 times. Under 5 uses of "sh**" and under 5 curse words involving body parts. Plenty of additional name-calling.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Most characters (including a pregnant woman) smoke and drink heavily throughout.
  • Characters get drunk and take drugs, including cocaine, at parties.
  • Unspecified prescription drugs shown and discussion of characters needing sleeping pills

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A man drags a dead body into a public indoor pool that has become a makeshift mass grave.
  • A bloodied man crawls under a glass coffee table and listens to his screams on a tape recorder. This scene becomes disturbing as he continuously hits play back, upsetting another character.
  • Frequent scenes of fights throughout the film (often involving multiple participants) with punching, kicking and weapons.
  • A man drags a woman to a bedroom as she screams, and it is strongly implied that he rapes her although we don't see this.

  • A man keeps the dead body of another man as an ornament/trophy, with the framework of a TV set placed over the dead man's head, which is bloodied. We see close ups of this.
  • In a medical setting, a human head is dissected. We see the face/flesh being pulled away from the tissue/muscle/eyes underneath, and then a hammer-like tool is used to prepare to open the skull.
