Several women are brutalized (strangling, beating, rape) by the serial killer in this movie. These women are based on real victims and are made into a spectacle by this movie.
When the woman who recognises the killer is sat in her car, the guy she's with says he believes her but then tells her the contestant cannot be who she says it is because the show would vet their contestants. Even though he doesn't know this for a fact, he chooses to believe this over the woman's testimony and dismisses it, even though she is clearly traumatised and has no reason to lie.
The young girl tries to empathize with the killer to save herself (scene in the desert at the end). It’s implied he had beat and raped her right before and is crying face to the floor. He seems to go with it and trusts her to stay alone in the car. She manages to get away and call the cops
A character is pressured by a "friend" into drinking more than she is comfortable with, and it leads her to having a one night stand that she appears to regret.
You briefly see a photo of a woman he killed with visible bloody cuts, but it isn’t a close-up shot in the movie and the photo isn’t focused on for long
there’s brief comments about lewd photos the killer takes of a 13 year old girl, but they are not shown. the last vicitim amy, is also a teenage runaway
The fact that he has a mental illness isn't really directly acknowledged and he doesn't have a specific diagnosis or anything. But yes, he is almost certainly mentally ill, and is murderous.
A woman has PTSD flashbacks and survivor's guilt. Her friend was killed, and she feels intense guilt because she left her on the beach with the killer. She did not witness the murder itself but she has trauma and grief from the loss.
A woman has ptsd during filming and leaves the audience to go smoking in her car, it’s implied that her friend was killed by the same man that’s shown as the serial killer which is a member of the bachelors. She screams and cries in her car while having flashbacks
They don't really specify a diagnosis, but he clearly shows a lack of empathy, superficial charm, and pathological compulsion to harm and kill. It can probably be assumed he has some kind of personality disorder.
A man calls a woman the c-word. There is another moment where a character talks disparagingly of "black music" and lists several white musicians he believes are superior. He does not use any slurs but the racism behind his statement is clear.
There is no on screen sex or nudity. A character wakes up in the same bed as someone else. There is some sexual references during the actual game show and during breaks in the game show.
No nude scenes. Interestingly, there is a scene where a woman is speaking to two producers/casting directors, and they ask her if she is okay with filming nude scenes. It is subtly implied she is rejected because of her unwillingness to do nude scenes.
Throughout the movie a young woman is reduced to her physical appearance. She is made to change out of her dress into something more revealing, is put on a humiliating game show, is told to downplay her intelligence to increase her sex appeal
no gore but slight blood present on cuts on a characters face and a polaroid for a slight second. also on the killers fingers in one of the last scenes
