  The film as a whole has a dark premise, as it centers on themes of corruption and also our powerlessness against evil. These dark themes play an important part in the plot of the film, and are even subtly stated through dialogue.

  The ending is one of the most intense, horrific, brutal and graphic scenes ever made, as there is lots of screaming and blood.

  Many characters are threatened.

  A film for 16 and up because it is way to intense for young teens.
