Brief male full rear nudity and glimpse of genitals and pubic hair related to a tribal ritual. A bare-breasted Aboriginal woman and bare-chested Aboriginal man are seen in book photographs.
Violence & Gore
Mild
In a dream sequence numerous people are seen submerged in water, it is implied that they drowned.
A man is murdered off camera. The killer is then seen with a small amount of blood on his hand.
The main plot line follows a murder. The murder is shown, but with very little actual violence, but it is discussed how he died and such later.
Profanity
None
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
Mild
Some characters smoke.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
Moderate
The entire film is very unsettling and eerie with very menacing undertones. While there are no jump scenes, it is disturbing and at times could even be considered scary.
