+ Montage in very beginning of film wherein shots of stripped cow and pig skulls are shown. Lobsters and cooked meats are shown on the platform throughout the movie. + Throughout the film, the eating of snails is brought up as a symbolic metaphor and used to justify cannibalism. This comparison may be distressing to vegan/vegetarians. + Dog death. SKIP (50:39-51:08) DETAILS FOLLOW SCROLL TO NEXT "+" TO AVOID: The character Miharu kills Imoguiri's "sausage dog" (dachshund) Ramesses II. The killing is done off-screen but Imoguiri is clearly distraught. There is a graphic shot of evidence of the murder. It is brief but upsetting. As the film goes on, it is clear that this vicious killing has damaged Imoguiri irreparably. + At around the (55 minute mark), Imoguiri refuses to eat from the platform, stating it's Ramesses II's turn to eat. As a dachshund owner, this scene was particularly hard-hitting. At (56:17) it's shown Imoguiri has become a victim of suicide by hanging. + Around 53:41 are shots of snails, first alive and then being prepared as a dish for the platform. In the following scene, hands are seen tearing at various dishes made from animals, obviously meant to be grotesque and disgusting. The main character finds the snails at 55:10 and eats them.

not really, but the main character is tied to a bed and while being held down with a knife (during a cannibalism scene), he is told that his penis could be eaten and it’s definitely worth avoiding if this is a trigger

throughout the film people who are under extreme psychological distress are violent to one another to the point of graphic mutilation, assault, murder and cannibalism. The main character experiences hallucinations throughout the film as a result of the stress he is under and is violent throughout the film. To the best of my knowledge, no specific mental illnesses are ever mentioned or used to explain violent behaviour.

The whole movie is set in "cells", not that small as characters can walk and move easily but still can be claustrophobic to someone.

+ There are repeated mentions throughout film of people "choosing death" over their situation. Several bodies are seen falling down the shaft of the hole.

+ SKIP (56:17-56:47) Imoguiri becomes a victim of suicide by hanging.

+ (SKIP 58:35) Goreng retrieves a shard of glass from the platform but uses it to scratch notches into the wall to count the days.

As someone with epilepsy, I was able to withstand the flashing in the movie, personally. It only lasts for about 13 seconds at the very ending scene of the movie, from [1:29:33], to [1:29:46]. It flashes between red, tan, and black. For those with epilepsy, please be aware and careful.
