- Severe
- It's a very bizarre and surreal experience, as are most of the movies by the director, David Lynch.
- There are one or two jumpscare-like scenes, where the camera cuts to strange imagery and loud music suddenly starts playing. Can be startling but the shock wears off quickly. There are also a few other scenes where the music suddenly gets very loud and it can be unnerving.
- The movie has a pervasively dark and eerie atmosphere. Ambient sounds play through pretty much the whole movie that can be eerie at times.
- There are many surreal and strange scenes and visuals, that can sometimes be very intense. The climax of the film is especially intense.
- Some characters behave strangely and can be uncomfortable to watch.
- The whole movie is basically intended to be one long nightmare based off of a man's fears. The movie is very distressing.
- A man MIGHT have killed his child. This is mostly implied and it may have just been a delusion of the character. He also may have committed suicide.
