Why did it get this rating?
Horror
The film sustains a sense of threat and horror throughout, with jump scares. Beneath the Airbnb is a claustrophobic horror setting. Someone is living there.
Graphic violence
The violence includes blood and gore, including heads being bashed, limbs torn and eyes gouged.
While the depiction of the violence is often brief and in dimly lit situations, the sense of threat beforehand heightens the impact.
Sexual violence
The film contains references to rape, including women being kidnapped and forced to have children. A man denies rape allegations in a manner that makes it clear he did rape a woman.
These references are not detailed or frequent but are a significant element of the plot.
Offensive language
The film contains frequent offensive language, including "motherf**ker", "f**k", "f**got", "b**ch" and "sh*t".
