The Banshees of Inisherin: parents' guide

A man chops off his own fingers, and the bloody hand and severed fingers are shown. A police officer beats his son, who is bruised, and is implied to sexually abuse him. Punches, a knockout, a house torched with a man inside, a drowned body.

Near constant: Plugged In counted about 50 f-words, mostly the Irish 'feck,' plus seven or eight s-words, 'bollocks,' 'wanking,' a gay slur, and misuses of God's and Jesus' names. Characters swear even in church.

No sex scenes. The young man's father, a middle-aged police officer, is briefly seen fully naked from the front while asleep in a chair. Crude talk covers masturbation and whether a man has seen a woman naked.

The men drink pints at the pub every day, and characters get drunk; one turns to whiskey, grows belligerent and blacks out. Pipe and cigarette smoking.

Grim rather than scary: the self-mutilation, a donkey dying after swallowing a severed finger, a corpse pulled from the water, a house set ablaze, and an eerie old woman who foretells deaths.
