Violence & Gore

  • There are scenes of violence throughout, including a scene in which a woman stabs another with a pair of scissors. Extremely shocking and unexpected.

  • Maud punches Amanda in the face during Amanda's birthday party. We only see a small amount of blood, which is dripping from Amanda's nose.
  • Maud has flashes of her previous trauma where it is revealed she crushed a patients ribcage while administering CPR. We see her pushing on the chest of both the patient. Eventually she pushes so hard that her hand sink into the chest. The man spits blood and she screams.
  • Maud walks along the beach and pours flammable liquid over herself before setting her self alight.

A sharp edit then shows the reality of Maud screaming and surrounded by flames.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The film also contains a scene in which an unknown woman lies dead on a bed with a big knife sticking out of her neck and blood dribbling down. Other scenes include one of ecstasy as the protagonist believes she has been visited by God. She is seen writhing about and foaming at the mouth and then is lifted up into the air, her back arched and her hair falling backwards.
  • Maud experiences flashbacks of trauma.
  • Amanda's face suddenly contorts into a demonic figure. She leaps out of bed and viciously mocks the protagonist. This is the biggest jump scare of the film and is towards the end of the picture.
  • A woman hallucinates that she is talking with the voice of God. The voice is distorted and creepy and it is implied that the woman will murder a friend who visits her later in the scene, but this does not happen.
  • Maud has a biblical hallucination in a bar whereby the drink in her glass becomes a whirlpool. This terrifies the woman as she believes God is condemning her.
