Jump scares: Several; More than a couple of sudden jolts.
Gore: Light gore; Some blood or injury, briefly.
Violence: Strong violence; Violence is frequent or intense.
Sex and nudity: None flagged; It is a horror title, so treat our zero as unconfirmed.
Language: Moderate; Some strong profanity, a few f-words.
