Since this is a found footage style film, it is largely centred around characters recording each other (using CCTV cameras and other devices) without their knowledge. A character also follows another character in her car and goes through his belongings.

One moment of graphic self-harm onscreen. It is obviously all special effects but the scene is drawn out and another character has an upsetting reaction to it. Scars are shown and referenced (a character asks another why he is always wearing long sleeves)

The son presents a lot of autistic traits, he didn’t like being touched as a baby, is uncomfortable with eye contact, has difficulty to understand social cues, etc. His mom assumes this means he’s a psychopath and uses this to justify her stalking and abusing him.

Through the whole movie, the mother is paranoid that her son would become like his uncle (Jerry), who shot and killed 6 kids at age 16. Her son is now 16, so she becomes increasingly worried.

Because the whole movie is filmed in a vlog like style, the people are constantly making direct eye contact with the camera (you), and talks to the camera like they would a person.
