Sex & Nudity

  • Carol's nipples and bare buttocks are vaguely visible through her thin nightgown in several scenes.
  • A woman's breast can be seen groped in one scene for a very brief moment. However, she's fully clothed.
  • A woman wakes with only a blanket on her on the floor.
  • A woman hears her sister moaning at night (in two different scenes) as she is having sex in the next room.

Violence & Gore

  • A guy gets bludgeoned to death by a candlestick.
  • The landlord gets killed with a beard knife.
  • Most of the woman's imagined rapists hold her down forcefully. In the last rape sequence, she knocks down a lamp while being raped.
  • A woman cuts her customer's finger while working on them (beauty parlor) and blood begins to pour out as the woman screams in fear. It is revealed to be only a little cut, however - most of it was part of the woman's imagination.

Profanity

  • "Bitch" is used twice.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • People are seen drinking at a pub.
  • Several characters smoke cigarettes.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The whole movie is of an intense and frightening nature. The rape scenes are all brief and without nudity, but also realistic and disturbing. As the leading character goes insane, her hallucinations gradually intensify. There are a few jump scenes as well.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • A woman is raped by different rapists over multiple nights. None of the scenes include nudity or screaming; for each, we only see many quick-cut closeup shots accompanied by the sound of a ticking clock. In total, this occurs four times in the movie, one of which includes skin, though it is not obvious which part of the human body is being shown.
  • The landlord tries to rape the leading character.

Violence & Gore

  • A woman slits her landlord's throat and slashes him to death with a razor.
  • An animal's heart is in a woman's purse.
  • A woman bludgeons her would-be boyfriend to death with a candlestick. She then moves his body into a bathtub filled with water. Blood flows from his mouth and nostrils.
