Frightening & Intense Scenes
Moderate
This movie is very hard to watch and pushes at an R rating, there is no blood shown but there are many death scenes that are very intense.
While very little is shown, the entire film has a very dark and menacing tone. It will very likely be disturbing to younger viewers.
