It’s not an animal beside a dog, cat or horse, that’s why people are voting no. The dog as stated above dies.

Not sure how anyone could say no. The bees in the movie are real and were bred for the movie. Dozens of those bees stung people (and the bees subsequently died)

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.

there’s a moment where the main characters are speaking to a black woman who says something to the extent of “you think we’re all criminals or do drugs or are gangbangers” because her only experience with white people has been negative.

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.
