Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Lengthy shots of a character with a damaged, bleeding eye in one scene that were particularly graphic.
- Frank the Bunny is very scary looking. His mask has a very demonic, almost bug like appearance, and his tendency to come out of nowhere can be intense. His voice also sounds very creepy.
- Donnie's story causes the viewer to contemplate mortality and the nature of reality.
- The entire atmosphere that the film gives off is very intense.
- The last 20 minutes of the movie or so are bizarre and quite haunting. The ending will stick with you for weeks after watching.
- Donnie repeatedly tries to stab Frank in the eye with a kitchen knife through a force field (not gory but potentially disturbing/intense).
- Potentially disturbing material throughout.
- A few characters die.
- Gretchen's mother was implied to have been stabbed to death by her stepfather.
