Child abuse and neglect is a MAJOR theme of the entire film. Throughout the film, children are shown suffering violent physical and emotional abuse.

A woman beats her adult daughter with a whip. We do not see the beating happen, though it is strongly implied and we later see its aftereffects.

A woman falls over a railing. Her clothes catch on an awning, and she dies by hanging. We see only her still feet dangling over the ground.

There are several scenes in which a young girl is shown taking a bath. Nudity is implied but never shown. Her fully-clothed brother sometimes sits beside the tub and talks to her as she bathes. At one point while the two are doing this, the antagonist appears unexpectedly and startles them.

A child states that he has to throw up. He runs to the bathroom, and we hear the sound of a toilet seat being put up, followed by retching. Other character discuss that they, too, have been vomiting a lot lately.

An old man is stated to be very ill and on the verge of death. We see him briefly in a large bed with some medical equipment and a nurse attending him.

The main characters are deprived of food for many days and are shown looking gaunt, pale, and sickly, which may trigger sensitive persons. However, they are clearly not starving themselves as a result of an eating disorder.

The majority of the film takes place in a single locked room and an attic where the main characters are kept prisoner. While they suffer the effects of confinement, nothing is presented as an effect of claustrophobia.

A boy draws a straight razor across his own inner arm. Blood and a long cut is shown. While the cutting is in the context of a survival situation (the children are starving, and the boy plans to feed his blood to his younger, weaker siblings), it may be triggering to sensitive or recovering viewers.

While there is no explicit sexual content, sexuality is discussed and condemned using strong religious language (sin" and "evil"). The two older children are falsely accused of being in an incestuous relationship.

The nude scenes never show anything, but there is implied nudity. The scenes are not sexual in nature nor are private parts shown. The scenes are implied nudity while a character is in the bath

A man dies in a car crash, but the event takes place off-screen; we only hear that it happened.

A woman is brutally whipped. We see numerous bloody lashmarks on her back afterwards.

In one scene, a boy cuts his arm; blood is shown briefly.
