As a former London constable, Nicholas Angel finds it difficult to adapt to his new assignment in the sleepy British village of Sandford. Not only does he miss the excitement of the big city, but he also has a well-meaning oaf for a partner. However, when a series of grisly accidents rocks Sandford, Angel smells something rotten in the idyllic village.
This movie contains 53 potentially triggering events.
Danny's father turns out to be one of the murderers, and he threatens Danny briefly at the end of the film. Danny is grown and all the evidence is that they've had a good relationship up until the events of the film.
From the moment he arrives, Sgt. Angel is closely watched by the neighbourhood watch of the village and they share this information amongst each other throughout the film.
George Merchant is beaten to death and the killer blows his house up to make it look like an accident. Since he was killed before the house went up, I'm not sure this should count as burned alive.
In a very gory scene, a character is murdered by having a big stone spike from the church roof pushed onto him. His head and upper torso pretty much explode.
I don't recall any teeth being damaged but there is a scene, towards the end, were someone slips and lands on a miniature church steeple. The steeple skewers the underside of their jaw and sticks out of their mouth but this doesn't damage any of their teeth.
Doctor Hatcher's toe is visibly blown off after the shotgun Danny is holding during the start of the climax fires after hitting the ground. In addition, there is fake eye mutilation caused by Danny holding his hand to his eye concealing a packet of catsup and stabbing the packet with a fork.
Danny uses a fork and ketchup packet to pretend he's stabbing himself in the eye. Even though it's fake, it can still be very triggering. There's also a fight scene where Skinner jams his thumbs in Nicholas' eyes.
SPOILER: We don't see the act, but a main character discovers the bodies of local village teenagers killed by the film's villains, who have no qualms killing those they deem deplorable -- even children -- in the name of the "greater good" (The greater good!).
*SPOILER* His dad crashes into a tree after being bit by the swan in the backseat. He survives and is then seen in a neck brace and has an arm in a sling.
A character is hidden in the trunk of another character's car and can be interpreted as a kidnapping, although it is wholly for the character's safety.
I don't believe Michael is autistic. I think he is developmentally disabled. He is definitely being used but I don't believe 'Autism Specific Abuse' is the proper label to this.
When Nicholas is attacked, the camera becomes shaky and there are a lot of hard cuts. It doesn't last super long, but if you're sensitive to shaky cameras, I'd recommend skipping over it :)
A male character earns the nickname "sissy" for being a ballet dancer when he was younger. Other characters mockingly ask if he's gay when this is brought up. There is no indication that the character is actually LGBT+
Father Christmas stabs the main character through the hand in a flashback at the beginning of the movie. No kid should be watching this movie anyway but they'd probably be wondering why Santa would do such a thing.
Multiple collisions in the film, one major: one minor near the start where Danny reverses into a fountain while intoxicated (none injured), one minor one near the climax which ends with one of Sandford Police's Vauxhall Astras losing its driver-side door, another one which ends with an Astra on its roof, and a final one where the Astra that loses its door hits a tree at low speed. SPOILER: There is what appears to be a fatal collision with a street sign which decapitates the occupants (the camera focuses on at least one of their heads on the asphalt).
