Gerald's Game: parents' guide

Sexual violence: a flashback shows a father molesting his 12-year-old daughter during an eclipse. Also a fatal heart attack, a dog tearing at a body, a killer who mutilates corpses, and a very graphic scene of a woman peeling skin from her own hand.

Frequent strong profanity, including f-words, s-words and the c-word, along with the husband's sexually degrading insults aimed at his handcuffed wife.

A husband gropes his handcuffed wife and keeps pushing a predatory role-play after she tells him to stop; she wears only a thin slip. The childhood abuse flashback shows a father touching himself with his daughter on his lap, conveyed through sound and close-ups.

The husband takes Viagra pills before the getaway, which matters to the plot. No drunkenness or illegal drug use is shown.

Nearly the whole film is claustrophobic dread: a woman trapped and starving, hallucinations of her dead husband, a towering ghoulish figure watching from the dark who turns out to be a real grave robber, and nightmarish eclipse imagery tied to her trauma.
