    The major and perhaps most intense/frightening scene is that of the main antagonist's death where he rapidly ages. This means that his skin rots in seconds, his hair grows and falls off, and his entire body eventually becomes a dying skeleton. His voice also becomes deep and gravelly and his eyes bulge.

    Those who find rats revolting may find one scene disgusting.
