Severe
13 of 14 found this severe
Extremely graphic and frequent. The film features brutal, grotesque killings by a supernatural entity. Victims are dismembered, impaled, stabbed, turned inside out, flayed, rearranged into bloody "art installations," and otherwise mutilated in creative, splatter-horror style.
Bloody visuals, body horror, and intense fight/action sequences are common. The gore is visceral and prolonged in many scenes, mixed with dark comedy.
The film contains strong bloody violence and gore.
Frequent, bloody violence includes frenzied stabbings, impalings, throat slashings, organs being ripped out of bodies, dismemberments, and an eye gouging.
Frequent strong gory and bloody injury includes sight of exposed intestines, flayed and mutilated dead bodies, severed heads, bloodied organs and dismembered body parts.

Profanity

Severe

Strong, frequent language throughout, including crude humor, swearing, and insults fitting the raw prison setting and satirical tone.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Severe
7 of 10 found this severe
Intense horror elements with jump scares, suspenseful stalking/kills, and a dark, oppressive prison atmosphere.
The combination of graphic violence, body horror, and sudden shifts to slapstick can be unsettling or disturbing. Political satire and themes of corruption, systemic violence, and societal breakdown add emotional weight.
Recommended for mature audiences only; younger viewers may find it traumatizing or overwhelming.
Ghost creatures are shown with small holes on their faces and bodies, which can be frightening for people with trypophobia.
Sequences of strong horror feature a ghostly presence possessing characters and committing sadistic acts of violence.
