Sex & Nudity

  • Dawn makes a joke that the reason Art got kicked out of the restaurant was because he was masturbating, and ejaculated all over the bathroom walls.
  • Topless Nudity in two separate scenes

Violence & Gore

  • The abandoned building Art hunts down his victims in is often drenched with blood, implying he has killed several other victims.
  • Art uses various weapons throughout the film including a gun, cleaver, scalpel, cat o' nine tails whip, knife, hacksaw, carving knife, and some others.
  • Art is seen completely drenched in blood at some points in the film.
  • The protagonists fight back by stabbing Art in the foot, back, face, punching and kicking him, and hitting him with a wooden plank several times. Mild blood.
  • Art kills his victims through mutilation. Nearly every death in the movie is insanely gory, and not at all for those with a weak stomach.
  • The edited version of this film removes the goriest and most explicit images but is still very brutal and sadistic in nature.

Profanity

  • Uses of "fuck", "shit", "asshole", and "bitch".
  • 35 uses of fuck.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • When Tara and Dawn are first introduced, they are shown as obviously drunk and even tease the idea of driving home while intoxicated.
  • Mike is seen smoking in a few scenes.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Art the Clown is an incredibly terrifying villain. He gruesomely murders people, and seems to take joy out of it. There is almost a twisted comedic side to him, and he can be very disturbing.
  • The woman with the disfigured face could be unnerving to some viewers.
  • Several jumpscares occur throughout the film, but it also has a lingering sense of dread and anticipation, knowing it won't be long before Art's next murder.
  • An effective jumpscare occurs at the very beginning of the film. A talk show interview is playing that stars a survivor of Art the Clown's massacre, before Art suddenly kicks the TV screen with a loud shattering sound effect.
  • Blood and gore are extremely strong, and the violence against women is disturbing. It is easily not for the weak stomach.

Spoilers

  • The clown skins a woman and wears her skin like a suit. Naked breasts seen.

  • Believing Tara's sister to be dead, Art proceeds to eat her face. It is onscreen, but not too graphic (at least compared to other scenes).
  • Mike is stomped in the head multiple times by Art the Clown. He then squashes his face with a fumigation tank and his clown shoes, and his head bursts into bloody chunks. Very graphic and gory.
  • Art stabs Will in top of his head, with thick blood oozing out. He then takes a second knife and saws into his neck, and tears it open. We see blood spewing, gore, and the bone in his neck. Art then tears his head off entirely and kicks it away.

  • Art suddenly pops out of a body bag and strangles the Coroner to death, to the point where his eyes start to bleed.

  • Ramone's fingers are chopped off with a cleaver, with blood spurting. Art then takes a carving knife and stabs him in the cheek, before pushing him to the ground and stabbing him in the face over and over again and also putting tongs in his eyes. His corpse is later shown with a completely maimed face, that doesn't even look human.
  • In the film's most infamous scene, Tara is tied down and gagged. Art the Clown reveals Dawn to be hanging upside down wearing only panties. Art rips the panties off and uses a hacksaw between her legs, violently cutting down until he reaches her head while Tara is forced to watch Dawn be split in half right in front of her. The entire scene is onscreen, and is indescribably graphic, with a couple of shockingly explicit camera shots. Even her insides fall out at one point! Later, he takes a selfie with her sawed in half corpse.
