Parent Guide

Torture is discussed but it is never shown. Also, the aftermath of killings is shown.

The violent act in which these victims are killed is not shown. The detective work displays the aftermath of the victims in a grim and gruesome way either on location, in pictures or both. Some of these scenes can be disturbing.

A large, obese man's bound corpse is found. It was hinted that the murderer made him eat a lot of spaghetti before kicking him in the stomach and rupturing it off-screen, revealing the gluttony sin.

A guy is depicted as having bled to death after being ordered by another man to chop off a pound of flesh off-screen, representing the Greed Sin. Blood is seen spattered on a carpet, and the word "Greed" is written in letters all over the floor.

A police officer finds something on a bed that is wrapped in a blanket during a raid. When it is removed, a horribly emaciated guy with veiny, gray skin and marks is shown to have been confined to a bed for a year, slowly starving him to death until an off-screen heart attack kills him, symbolizing the Sloth Sin. The police panic and hurry the guy to the hospital as he chokes on breath, demonstrating that he is still alive.

The man who was being interrogated tells of being forced to use a sharpened dildo and have intercourse with a woman while the killer holds the gun and holds him at gunpoint. The woman is tragically stabbed as a result of this (off-screen). Her body is seen later, when the police arrive at the murder scene (the shot is set up such that the guy obscures everything from the camera except her legs).

The image shows a woman on a bed with blood all over her. It is revealed that she overdosed on sleeping pills and killed herself (off-screen) after a guy defaced her face by chopping off her nose. When the cops show up at her residence later, her body is seen. The word "Pride" is written in blood on the walls.

Two men pursue a murderer through buildings, resulting in gunshots and a soggy street. They encounter the murderer in an alleyway, who hides on a truck and uses a tire iron to strike his face, causing a gash on his eye and temple. The murderer, aiming a pistol at his temple, spares him.

Grisly violence.

Modern BBFC in UK rating would probably be 15, instead of 18.
