Three women are tortured and/or killed in the film, but you do not see the actual acts occur. Only one body is shown on screen. Otherwise, the acts are only discussed by the characters.

The aftermath of a forced rape is shown. A woman is brutally killed during it, and the man forced at gunpoint to rape her is shown recounting the story while extremely traumatized and crying.

Rape is not shown on screen but the after math is. A man is forced at gunpoint to rape a woman with a knife strap-on. She dies in the process but he lives and recounts what happened while hyperventilating. Neither him nor the woman consented to the act and both are rape victims in my eyes.

The killer often threatens his victims with a gun. The killer and the detectives have a shootout mid-film, and a character later dies by being shot.
