late in the movie, it becomes apparent other characters are also being controlled by Tasya's employer, and they follow her. there is also a subplot about data collection via spying through webcams.

A lot of people are brutalized in this movie, but it doesn't feel targeted at women. The women's deaths are not any more drawn out than the men's, nor are they sexualized or shot differently.

Skip this one if you can't handle rapidly flashing imagery. Long, flashy scenes that are integral to the story keep popping up suddenly.

No dementia, but when the main character is coming out of a host, she sometimes struggles with memory and cognition in a way that could be reminiscent of dementia.
