The thing to know: strong sex and nudity, more than an R usually carries. Beyond that, real scares and several jump scares.

Scare
Properly scary
Frightening, not just tense.
Jump scares
Several
More than a couple of sudden jolts.
Gore
Light gore
Some blood or injury, briefly.
Violence
Some violence
Some fighting or peril.
Sex and nudity
Strong
Strong means explicit or repeated sex, extended nudity, or sexual assault shown on screen, attempted or completed, even partly off screen. Any one of these is enough.
