Positive Messages

Violence
Emotional abuse against women who are in a cult and controlled, sexually and spiritually, by male leader. A woman is slapped, kicked, slammed. Character bashed with a rock. Dead bodies shown, including one that's been tortured. An animal is sacrificed; its blood is smeared on women's faces. Menstrual blood shown. Sexual encounter between cult leader and teen in his flock plays out as rape. Woman with scratches on her chest, woman with bruises on neck. Bloody/disturbing lamb fetus shown. Dead bird on forest floor, crawling with maggots. Nightmare sequence (man slicing sheep's neck, etc.). Slapping. Loud noises, shrieking, wailing, screaming, etc. A man holds women's heads under water. Injured sheep.
Sex
