Although nobody is sexually assaulted, a woman is pulled into a car by strange young men who treat her disrespectfully. Sexual threats are not part of the scene but it deliberately evokes a fear of sexual assault

At the beginning of the movie, an amputated head can be seen from afar (no graphic details) being thrown into a waterfall. A more graphic decapitation is shown towards the ending, very quick and unexpected

A character either drowns or dies by fire, it isn't clear which, but the main character also nearly drowns. She is dragged down by a character and the scene is shot underwater so it could be triggering.
