Horror
The film contains a mix of psychological horror and violent horror. A sense of threat is created through music, lighting and Ian’s fear. There are occasional jump scares. Ian sees mysterious black shadows moving in the dark and believes he’s being hunted by something in the bush.
Violence
People are killed. Detailed injuries are shown, including a person’s intestines, and a bloody human head. We see a dead woman in a tree, dripping blood.
Offensive language
“F**k”, “f**king” and “sh*t” are used casually and during moments of stress.
