Frightening & Intense Scenes

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • The film heavily implies that Snider has sex with Stratten's corpse. He ties her naked body (a close-up of the butt is visible) to a sexualized exercise bench, and he is discreetly angled in a brief shot, as though he is violating her body (no movement).
  • Snider and Stratten's very bloody naked bodies are visible, face-down, in a ceiling shot in a dark room.

Violence & Gore

  • The film shows snippets from the aftermath of the murder (and later, the actual murder-suicide), including Snider with blood on his face and hands, bloody bullet wounds, blood on walls and sheets, and Stratten's nude, face-down body (nudity usually offscreen).
  • Snider shoves Stratten into a chair twice, throws her down on the bed, and tears her top off in an attempt to rape her. She very reluctantly consents to sex. During sex he pushes her off the bed, onto the floor.
  • Two thugs dangle Snider out a hotel window and when he is pulled back in he has some vomit on his suit. As the scene ends, the thugs proceed to dangle him out the window again.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Paul Snider is a very intense scary real-life character who ultimately commits murder in a very intense and disturbing scene.
