nudity | Killer dresses up kidnapped little girls in white dresses (no sexual activity implied, but significant gender definition by way of "preserving innocence.") Deep tells Taylor he "needs to get laid." Stephanie appears in her bra during a strip poker game, then slips it off to kiss Taylor; they next appear naked in bed (under covers) talking about their pasts. |
violence | Scary scenes show young girls being kidnapped (one screams as her father is knocked out and can't help her.) Two girls perish in an elementary school fire (the killer traps them there; viewers hear screaming and see flames.) A girl uses her bracelet to cut the killer, drawing blood; repeated chase scenes are hectic and dark; body suffused with red ochre powder looks grotesque. Killer makes porcelain masks of girls before killing them. Final chase and fight in basement/catacombs is rendered with hectic camerawork and editing. Killer screams a lot. |
profanity | Several uses of "f--k," plus other language -- "s--t," "hell," "damn." |
alcohol | A hallucinogenic drug is at the center of the mystery. Killer stabs victims with a needle filled with a knockout drug; wine, liquor, and beer drinking; one cigar smoked. |
frightening | The main character's nightmares/memories occur erratically and confuse -- rather than clarify -- matters. |
