If you’d rather skip
A young woman alone at home receives threatening phone calls, is chased, stabbed repeatedly, and her body is discovered hanging from a tree in the yard; this sequence is prolonged and extremely graphic.
The threatening phone-call setup recurs multiple times across the film, each time escalating to a violent attack.
A man's throat is slit and his bloody body falls onto a car windshield; guns are drawn and fired at characters in multiple later scenes.
