A story about a young boy being attacked is shown. The young boy is shown with his genitals removed, writhing and screaming. Very upsetting.

Later, an extended scene where a cop demands the main character undress. She is crying and covered in blood. Extended scene that is very dehumanizing/triggering.

Helen is restrained in several ways including being handcuffed, pinned down, strapped to a table, and strapped to a chair. These are all done to her in self defense or by a doctor.

Helen is forced to strip by police. There's also a scene of her bathing but her parts are mostly obscured by her arms and the water. One of the murder victims is shown completely naked but that scene is brief.

This is a VERY bloody movie and there's some gorey scenes as well. If that bothers you I wouldn't watch Candyman
