ReportWhen disc jockey Grant Mazzy reports to his basement radio station in the Canadian town of Pontypool, he thinks it's just another day at work.

There is a poster of a missing cat. You never see the cat, but assume it is dead.

The most that is shown is the main characters kill a girl and discuss killing the girl after she attacks them. Gore is not shown on screen, but her body is shown after the fact. Gore not shown for the most part. Many children die. A teenager is described as having passed away due to injuries over a phone call. The obituaries are read of many people, including children, in a montage scene, but none die onscreen.

Descriptions of townsfolk who are dead. Some of the dead are parents to both adult and child offspring who are equally dead. None of these people are characters who serve any role other than to be listed as casualties.
SPOILERS:
One of the main characters is a mom to kids we never see, since they are safe 100km away from the action with their father. It is implied that a bomb drops on her location, leading the viewer to believe she is dead, but she then appears in an after-credits scene that is filmed in an entirely different style, dressed and speaking differently, and adopting a different name.

Someone does ask another person to kill them, with the literal words "kill me," but they are substituting "kill" for a different verb, and using it to mean something that is not "kill."

Racist group of white performers do racist musical performance dressed and made up as a racistly stereotyped version of Arabs. The lyrics to their song are explicitly violent in nature and lean in hard to the terrorist stereotype.

Saw no mention of this prior, was so drawn out and absolutely wild to see. Randomly shoved into what otherwise could've been a great movie, but was ultimately too uncomfortable to continue watching.
