31 F-words, as well as little use of milder profanity. Some mild scatological terms.

Several intense, bloody murder scenes. Many sequences in the film are extremely tense, with the feeling that characters are being stalked and watched. A woman is kidnapped briefly, and a man threatens to rape and kill her.
