Nothing is seen on screen. An actress emotionally describes the noises the dog made as he died from poisoning. Mute the tv as the Nick Nolte drives home after an urgent call from his wife to avoid hearing the distressing description.

Three hired goons gang up on the villain, a violent and murderous rapist, and beat him bloody with metal bars and chains. We see him crumpled up on the ground, protecting his head while the hits rain down on him. The scene is like a violent bullying scene, except for the fact that the victim is very far from innocent or defenseless - he soon takes all three of them down. All four are fully grown men.

Around the 43 minute mark there's a jumpscare. It's only auditory. A phone ringing abruptly in a quiet moment. The whole family flinches from the loud sound.

A wide river in Florida. A storm arrives, the waves get crazy, and the boat that the main characters are on goes completely out control, is smashed to bits on rocks and sinks. Many of the shots make it look like the boat is on the ocean, no land showing. It all happens in the dark of night.

No; there are no trans persons that we know of in the movie. The evil villain is dressed as a woman and wearing a wig at one point, but that's a disguise, and he doesn't do it for the purpose of committing sexual assault.

The villain - a violent rapist - clearly has something wrong with his mind, but we don't see him in a mental hospital/institution or receiving any kind of treatment, and I don't think we hear any diagnoses. The focus isn't on him being mentally ill, but on him being the evil antagonist; we only see him as a monomaniacal, murderous stalker with some degree of religious mania, not as someone who suffers. SPOILER---SPOILER---SPOILER--- The clearest sign that something is wrong with his mind is that he starts speaking in tongues when he's about to die, and that he maintains a menacing and unnatural sort of still eye contact with another character until the very moment he dies (his death approaches steadily), instead of panicking like I daresay anybody else would do out of sheer instinct.

At one point, the evil villain is disguised as a specific woman in order to sneak up on someone. We see him from the back and don't notice that it isn't her - at least I didn't, and we're supposed to be fooled. The fact that he's disguised is used as a horror element, not as a joke.

A man in his late forties seduces a 15-year-old girl to the point where she lets him tongue-kiss her and doesn't protest when he puts his thumb in her mouth. She's all giggly afterwards. Later on, she realises that he's evil and dangerous, so from that point on she only wants to get as far away from him as possible. He finds her and is in a position to rape her, but something happens that stops it from happening.

Dunno why everyone's being so vague.
-Lots of discussions about being in prison for raping a 16 year old.
-He beats and rapes a woman (literal rape off screen),
-then he grooms a 15 year old girl and puts his tumb in her mouth and kisses her.
-Then later on he gives the mum a choice of being raped herself or raping the 15 year old. He starts to do it to the mother but is interrupted.
People need to be less vague on this site.

The girls in question are teenage rather than children, but Max's preference skews young so you could say it's at least ephebophilia

The villain spent 14 years in jail for the violent rape of a 16-year-old girl, and the entire movie is about his quest for revenge on his attorney, so it's mentioned numerous times. There are also rape scenes.

An ex-con mentions being assaulted by a group of men more than once in prison, but it's not said jokingly or treated as comedy by the movie.

We see someone sinking under water (then getting back up), and we see someone disappear under the surface as river water slowly rises above his head. We also get a shot from his point of view, below the surface. So there are at least two underwater shots, and possibly more.

I wouldn't say so. The worst things shown are: a big chunk of someone's cheek bitten clear off, two dead people with garotte wounds, and a person with nasty burn blisters all over his face and neck.
