Synopsis

In a world mostly wiped out by the plague and embroiled in an elemental struggle between good and evil, the fate of mankind rests on the frail shoulders of the 108-year-old Mother Abagail and a handful of survivors. Their worst nightmares are embodied in a man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers: Randall Flagg, the Dark Man.

A dog fights a wolf off-camera. The dog is okay. There are sounds of the fight and we can assume that the wolf is not okay but he is not seen. Dog returns a hero.

A woman is groomed from childhood, manipulated into sex, sees through the illusion, resists, but is forced while he holds her down and tells her to "shut up". Yeah that counts as rape, and SA survivors need to be aware of the scene.

A female character who has been groomed by an older male character in a position of power performs sex acts on another male character because she is told it is her role to play. The male character in a position of power later tells the female character that because she did this for him, she can now be his wife. Unless there is another situation that might be cheating, I do not believe this counts.

Okay, this is a stretch but for those who know that the actor playing R.F. is Alexander Skarsgård, his brother Bill Skarsgård plays Pennywise the Clown in the new IT films. A scene towards the end, if you listen closely, RF starts singing in the Pennywise voice. Whether you find this comedic or triggering is, of course, a matter of personal taste, and might be a reach and a half, lol. But I thought I'd mention it because it was very much noticed and discussed with the people I viewed it with.
