I honestly don’t know what happened to the dog.
The last I remember was on the walk.

The person walking the dog got kidnapped while he was out walking the dog so I don’t know what they did to the dog. However, I think the cops found the dogs collar.

There is a scene where the detective is opening up black boxes to look for something and after picking out some clothes he finds all the boxes are filled with snakes. The scene only lasts a couple minutes, but you definitely see them.

The film is very psychological. Alex is gaslighted into believing he’s a different person than he is.

Although medical and prescribed, the mother of one of the abducted kids takes many sleeping pills and shots of medication bottles.

Also- there is talk of children being drugged throughout the movie, and one adult character is drugged on screen.

Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal) very briefly and non-graphically alludes to the fact that he might have been sexually abused as a kid when he threatens a suspect. Very easy to miss. The subject he’s threatening is a pedophile, but this isn’t detailed any further than the suspect being labeled as a pedophile. Holly also briefly and non-graphically mentions that her husband was a pedophile.

A window is broken and a shard is used as a weapon, but I wouldn't consider it cutting.

Not squashed, but Dover (Hugh Jackman) does repeatedly punch Alex (Paul Dano) in the face. Later in the film his face is badly swollen.

SPOILER ALERT!!!



Keller finds his daughter's whistle while he's trapped underground. At the very end of the movie, Det Loki shows up right before the forensic people couldn't find anything and leave the scene right near the spot where Keller is. Loki is about to leave too but he hears a whistle noise and turns back around....he goes to leave again when he hears the noise multiple times. The movie ends there and it's never shown whether or not he finds Keller. It's left up to the viewer.

Alex (Paul Dano) is beaten up repeatedly by Dover (Hugh Jackman) and his eyes swell badly. During the climax of the movie, Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal) is injured and his vision is blurred, and he is later shown with one bloodshot eye.

Not too excessive however, there is a beating scene where a character is hit repeatedly in the face until it becomes a bloody mess. His face is seen throughout as swollen and bloody.

A character is locked in a confined space and can be heard briefly hyperventilating.

it’s not explicitly shown but a person is beaten up very badly and so it can be assumed they’ve broken their nose/jaw/cheekbone etc perhaps.

HEAVILY recommended skipping this movie if torture makes you uncomfortable, it’s both shown on-screen and referenced to have happened to multiple characters

There's no amputation but a character is threatened to have their hand hit with a hammer which would probably almost remove it

Children are abducted, and the suspect is held captive by one of the children's father. This is a persistent theme throughout the whole movie.

two occasions: 1) after keller drinks from the bottle holly gives him he gags. 2) after anna is saved by loki and on the backseat of his car she kinda foams at the mouth and starts drooling but kinda looks a bit sick like so skip until they arrive at the emergency room.

Kinda, there’s the sound of a character being beaten and repeatedly bunched in the face. There are torture scenes throughout, but the audio isn’t excessive.

i don't know why people are saying no? one of the main characters is a police detective and is portrayed as a hero throughout the movie. he's violent while dealing with suspects (including people who later are revealed to be innocent) but it's not portrayed as a bad thing necessarily

A man commits suicide with a gun, on-screen.

Look away after Loki assaults Bob Taylor in the interrogation room and the other officers rush in to intervene.

A character is locked in an underground chamber. This is only very briefly shown, but the idea is disturbing.

The ending is pretty ambiguous, so I’d say it’s up for interpretation.

Towards the end of the movie there is a scene where a character is rushed in a police car to the hospital. There is many tires squealing and honking. No car crash during this scene.

Many scenes with gore, most notably when Bob Taylor shoots himself after gaining control over an officers gun in the interrogation room.
