Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The torture-like scenes in the asylum are disturbing.
- The discussions and deli toons of the murders are very intense.
- A character accused of heinous crimes is meant to be disturbing.
- Several emotionally intense moments.
- The main character is treated very poorly by the police for a large portion of the film.
- Obviously the thought of losing a child is very relatable and frightening, and so many viewers (especially parents) will be in sympathetic suspense through this film.
Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- Based on a true story about a person who kidnapped, raped, and chopped up small children in his farm.
Violence & Gore
- Halfway through the story shifts gears into a manhunt of sorts for a psychotic serial killer who may have taken Christine's child. A young boy contacts the police and confesses that his older cousin forced him into being an accomplice to murdering, as he says, "about 20 boys." In a long scene which is very disturbing and sad, the boy describes how his cousin would take him out in the car to town, where they would manipulate a boy into coming in the car with them. They would then bring that boy back to the farm, where either the older cousin would kill him--or, as the boy says, "save him for later," and go back to get another boy. We see brief images of the older cousin with an ax, hacking at something offscreen, presumed to be a child's corpse. In some of these shots we can see blood on the killer's face. In others, you can hear screaming from the children. It doesn't go further than that.
- The police take the younger cousin back to the farm and order him to dig up the childrens' remains. The boy digs until he finds parts of a skeleton including a foot with a shoe still on it. The foot had obviously been cut off.
- Electroshock therapy is depicted once in the asylum. It's disturbing but the patient ends up making it out okay.
