Violence & Gore

  • Nine various death cases are discussed, the causes of death being: car accident, heart failure, war fight, (twice) drowning, (implied) hanging, doctor's mistake, over-exhaustion combined with stress and weak health, and famish.

Profanity

  • Minor cursing words, such as mentions of the devil.
  • As mentioned above, a Bible is thrown out of the window.
  • One woman always refers to God and moral, but only to show off and prove herself right in any case. Another character thinks she's a religious fanatic because she reads her Bible daily.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Everyone drinks wine during the dinner in the beginning of the movie. A glass of brandy is offered as sedative twice, both times to a woman nearly unconscious from shock. A man keeps a bottle of whiskey in his room; he also uses the drink mostly as a sedative and gives it to a frightened woman.
  • Trional, a harmless sedative drug, is mentioned as the medicine administered to one of the characters. A woman is shown taking sleeping drug tablets.

Frightening & Intense Scenes
