What starts off as two men screwing around with a video camera quickly transforms into an ultra-realistic torture sequence where the unidentified psychopaths tape their exploits as they torment and violate a woman tied to a chair.

If violence against women is a trigger, this movie is not for you. The killers are very misogynistic and evil.

We see a slaughterhouse, including butchered pigs hanging from hooks, but we don't see any of them being killed.

the act of pooping is not depicted onscreen as far as i can remember but there very much is excrement-centric torture (what a string of words) in this film. one scene in particular has a woman being smeared with poop (including in her wounds) and being forced to eat it

No one is explicitly shown to have an eating disorder, but at the beginning, there was some fatshaming towards a girl, so watch with caution.
