though children are not hurt physically by parent figures, they do receive verbal abuse in their household. an older sibling holds down their younger sibling and punches them. the characters who die are minors.

Layne shows up at Clarissa's house late at night to get her involved in his schemes.
Another character is often paranoid because he believes "they" are still looking for him bc of a murder he committed 20 years ago.

it is implied that one character had sex with a girl before or after killing her— her body is shown naked and he takes her clothes. several characters make jokes about rape throughout the movie.

There's a dead body, someone is punched and gets a bloody nose, a man is hit over the head and there's blood, and there's a gun shot wound. That's all I can remember but there might be more.
