The Surfer

Movie • 2024 • Thriller  

Report
When a man returns to his beachside hometown in Australia, many years since building a life for himself in the U.S., he is humiliated in front of his teenage son by a local gang of surfers who claim strict ownership over the secluded beach of his childhood. Wounded, he decides to remain at the beach, declaring war against those in control of the bay. But as the conflict escalates, the stakes spin wildly out of control, taking him to the edge of his sanity.

Scally's dog does not die. There is a dog on a missing poster that we are told has been killed but we never see that dog, alive or dead. The white dog in the trailer is only on screen for a few seconds and then continues on its way.

A dead rat, though it's blatantly a fake prop.

after the surfer’s car battery is dead, he walks to bathroom and g*gs at dog poop in water fountain

when filling up an old crumpled water bottle with dirty sink water, g*gs and spits into sink, g*gs on same drink at night in his car

after getting bit by the rat, next morning shows him holding stomach in pain, look away as it cuts very quickly to him v* into toilet, full audio and visual for about 5-10 seconds (looked away and plugged ears pretty quickly after it started)

(while me myself is not affected by reading the uncensored words, on other movies on this site a majority of comments under this trigger has the words censored for the people it does effect. it costs nothing to be respectful :) )

Yes, and there’s a general theme of toxic masculinity (which is implicitly condemned).
