I highly suggest not watching this if blood and gore aren’t your thing. That is basically the main point of this movie,that and torture. It’s extremely gory and lots of torture from beginning to end. Keep that in mind,this movie isn’t made for those that aren’t into gore/blood.

**POTENTIAL SPOILERS**
A decent portion of the film features a character trapped in a basement. It is a large basement, however, the fact that it is underground and there is no exit could make one feel claustrophobic.

In the sense of body horror, yes. At certain points we see a very severely scarred woman whose bones sometimes appear contorted. Further toward the end (SPOILERS), a woman's skin is fully removed except for her face, showing the muscles underneath.

This film is extremely sad and cruel, even beyond the violence.
