Sex & Nudity

  • Some prostitutes with revealing clothing in some scenes.
  • A prostitute is told to strip by a man. We see her bare breasts. They talk about explicit things before a sexual activity begins although the camera is so oddly placed that we don't see very much aside from some movements.
  • A conversation between a hooker and a man has sexual dialog.
  • A man and a woman have sex. There is visible thrusting although we only see them above the shoulders and there is no nudity. There is graphic sexual dialogue in this scene and it lasts a little while.
  • A hooker flashes her breasts to her friends. They compliment her. The nudity is pretty prolonged.
  • A woman talks about her sexual experiences with a man that she knew.

Violence & Gore

  • A woman slaps another woman multiple times
  • A man punches a woman multiple times.
  • After being stabbed in the stomach with a screwdriver, a woman throws up blood onto the street. There is also blood on her stomach.
  • We see a dead body of a woman with a screwdriver in her stomach and blood on the floor near the wound.
  • A corpse of a man with blood and brain around him is briefly shown. This isn't detailed or really explained.
  • A woman is seen with a screwdriver protruding from her stomach. Lots of blood is seen momentarily in closeup which includes the open wound.
  • A ghost is shot multiple times until it disappears. There is no blood at all despite the ghost looking like a man.

Profanity

  • Numerous profanities ("fuck", "shit", "balls", etc).

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Some smoking and drinking

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A few scenes with loud noises and creepy imagery can be jumpscare-like.
  • Many scenes contain human-sized rabbit people. Their appearance is intentionally disturbing, it's David Lynch after all.
  • This movie is considered to be one of the scariest movies ever made
  • The entire film very disturbing, it is David Lynch's most surreal and hard to follow film. There are many themes of distorted realities and switched identities. There is a dream / nightmare-like atmosphere throughout most of the film.

Frightening & Intense Scenes
