violence | 9/10 Very graphic and disturbing violence is depicted throughout. A man is killed with an axe. Instead of seeing an axe enter his head, there is his reaction before he is killed, a blood spray on the killer's face, and his face in a pool of blood from a distance. When his covered body is being dragged out, it leaves a bloody trail. A chainsaw is dropped on a woman from a great height. The impact is offscreen and no sounds are heard, although we see the chainsaw lodged in her back and blood pooling on the floor from a distance. A few bodies of women are briefly shown in a closet, and a bloody corpse is partially seen in a bathroom for a second. One woman is briefly seen with a slightly bloodied face after an implied act of violence. A man is bloodlessly stabbed a few times around the upperbody.
